Register for "American Immigration: Assimilation & Exclusion"

October 29, 2022, 9:30 AM ET - 1:45 PM ET | Hosted by: Ashland University (Ashland, OH) | Discussion Leader: Jay Green, Covenant College

Debates over immigration in America are not new. In fact, Americans have been arguing over who may properly join the American nation since before the founding. To better understand our long history of arguments over immigration, this seminar will explore themes of assimilation, citizenship, and exclusion. The first session will be devoted to an examination of various perspectives on what it means to be or become an American. The second session will focus more narrowly on questions surrounding the legal exclusion of Chinese people from entry and from citizenship.

All attendees of this free seminar will be provided with lunch, a certificate of attendance, and digital and paper copies of the agenda and documents reader.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
