Prerequisites: One approved CRES-attribute course. This course will examine issues within crimmigration studies that raise questions about immigration, race/racism, crime/criminalization, policy, citizenship, and resistance and will explore how Latinas/os/xs and immigrants encounter the criminal justice system and immigration enforcement in the United States. Students will come to understand important questions regarding crimmigration, such as its origins in the United States, how policy has historically racialized and excluded migrants, debunking myths surrounding immigrants and crime/jobs, and ways to counterprogram and resist crimmigration.
