Metropolitan Washington Workshop on Immigration & Race
Metropolitan Washington Workshop on Immigration & Race
The Metropolitan Washington Workshop on Immigration & Race (MWWI&R) is a network of scholars dedicated to conducting research and advancing understanding of immigrant networks, social and economic integration, immigrant entrepreneurship, and challenges of exclusion and resentment among native-born populations in one of the top five destinations for newcomers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
- History
-
MWWI&R was first conceived by Dr. Katharine Donato and Dr. Marie Price and began in Spring 2019 at the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University with the intent to rotate across universities in the metropolitan DC area from year to year.
During the 2019 - 2020 academic year, thanks to funding provided by The George Washington University Seminars Funding Program, MWWI&R brought together scholars from universities and think tanks to conduct seminars at the George Washington University with the goal to foster collaboration that leads to sponsored research, increased data sharing and the framing of questions around how metropolitan areas respond, benefit and adapt to racial, ethnic and demographic shifts in population brought on by large scale immigration.
