Pursuing Citizenship During COVID-19

Abstract

This essay serves as an introduction to the 2021 Byron White Center Rothgerber symposium issue and an epilogue to the book Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era (Stanford Press 2020).

Citizenship is a subject of growing interest in scholarly and policy discussions that aim to go beyond repairing the exclusionary immigration laws of the last several years to building a more inclusionary society. The essays in this symposium issue represent some of the best and brightest voices on citizenship. Their voices hail from law, sociology, political science, and history. They include university scholars, immigration practitioners, and immigrants living their lives in American society.

Keywords: Citizenship, Immigration, Migration, Integration, Equality, Law and Society
