PUBLIC TALK: Pacific Solutions? Contexts, consequences, and legacies of Asian migration and deportation in the USA and Australia

In this international panel, three scholars will place the current Australian and American debates about immigration control, detention, and deportation in historical contexts, discussing the origins and consequences of policies in each country, and the conditions that drive migrants from their homes.

This panel is final instalment of a series of events examining the Histories and legacies of immigration and deportation across the Pacific, supported by a seed funding grant offered by the Perth USAsia Centre, Chief Investigator, Ethan Blue.

The panel is sponsored by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies and the Perth USAsia Centre.
