Vandalizing Dignity: Current Narratives of Migration

Current narratives regarding immigrants paint a negative picture of new arrivals to the U.S. Their arrival is often considered a "crisis" that overwhelms the resource capacity of the nation. Often the migrants are portrayed as criminals who endanger the community. Portrayals have even devolved into characterizations of our neighbors as subhuman vermin who eat pets. We will examine the question of medicine's role as an advocate for human dignity and equality and consider alternative narratives available in U.S. history.

This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior St), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
