“Immigration has for decades, even centuries, created a temporal paradox in American discourse: pride in the country’s history of immigration coming up against fears of its present and future.” – Derek Thompson
Below you will find a set of teaching materials that will help you introduce your students to the topic of immigration through a range of pedagogical frameworks. The aim of this project is to create opportunities for students to open their minds, take intellectual risks, and break free from the us vs. them modes of thinking that have proven so destructive to our democratic ideals. You may use these resources together or as stand-alone inspiration to engage your students in constructive conversations about this contentious and compelling topic.
