Race, Immigration and the Law of the Workplace
21st Century Challenges
February 26, 2010 - February 27, 2010
Bowl 16, Robertson Hall, Princeton University
“Race, Immigration and the Law of the Workplace: 21st Century Challenges", organized by the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at UC San Diego and LAPA, brings together a group of social scientists and legal scholars to explore the challenges posed by immigration to the workplace, and the ways in which immigration is re-conceptualizing understandings of citizenship, race, and ethnicity.
The objective of this conference is to bring together scholars engaging in the intersections of law, immigration, race and the workplace. Mass immigration has had a huge impact on labor, on citizenship, on understandings of race and ethnicity, and on American politics. The law has been evolving as well. We will bring together a group of social scientists and legal scholars in these areas to create a dialog among those whose interests intersect but for professional reasons rarely interact.
The conference is open to the public.

We Cant Keep Paying These Costs - Can We?
Friday, March 5, 2010
8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University
Event is Free of Charge and Open to the Public, but registration is required.
What should our correctional policy be as we move further into the 21st century? Are there viable programs that can reduce costs, yet address the issue of justice? What is the social cost of incarceration? What is the expectation of legislators and the public concerning changes in statutes that would have an impact on length of sentences – or for that matter -- the type of crime for which a prison sentence should be the norm?
