Overview
The Institute for Humane Studies is pleased to invite scholars to a proposals workshop on contemporary challenges in immigration policy and public opinion. As public conversations around immigration continue to shape policy and public sentiment, IHS invites scholars to workshop ideas and receive feedback on proposals related to immigration attitudes and narratives, as well as the broader impacts of immigration policy.

Areas of particular interest include the effectiveness of pro-immigration narratives, the relationship between policy design and voter reactions, the role of issue salience and agenda setting, and the unintended consequences of immigration enforcement.
