Join Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Sonia Nazario, author of Enrique's Journeyfor a wide ranging and provocative exploration of the promise and perils of immigration. In conversation with Miller Center Faculty Senior Fellow David Leblang—who is also professor of politics in the College of Arts and Sciences and of public policy at the Batten School—Nazario will engage in a broader discussion of conditions in Central America, changes in U.S. immigration policies, and ways in which communities welcome immigrants and refugees.

Book signing and sale will follow.

This event is part of "Welcoming Week," an annual series of events in which communities bring together immigrants, refugees, and native-born residents to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone. This discussion is cosponsored by UVA's Miller Center, Office of the President, College of Arts & Sciences, Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, Karsh Center for Law and Democracy, Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Outreach, Democracy Initiative, the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, and Welcoming Greater Charlottesville.
