Common Reading talk to Address Immigration and American Education

Clif Stratton, faculty member in the Department of History as well as Director of UCORE, will speak about immigration and American public education on Tuesday, November 5, at 4:30 p.m. in CUE 203. Drawing from his 2016 book Education for Empire: American Schools, Race, and the Paths of Good Citizenship, Stratton will discuss how racism, nativism, and imperialism have shaped the public education of immigrants and native-born non-whites in the United States. The talk is part of the 2019-20 Common Reading Series building on topics presented in this year’s selected book, Refuge: Rethinking Refugee Policy in a Changing World. More about the series and the Common Reading Program can be found at CommonReading.wsu.edu
