TY - JOUR AU - Dingeman-Cerda, Katie PY - 2014/11/18 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Immigration and Deportation Law Timeline Activity JF - TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology JA - TRAILS VL - IS - SE - DO - UR - https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/immigration-and-deportation-law-timeline-activity SP - AB - This resource supplements the Deportation Nation syllabus available in the TRAILS database. To interactively chronicle the evolution of immigration and deportation laws in the U.S., each student is assigned as a "resident expert" on a law, policy, or practice. They produce a short "visual essay" in PowerPoint or Prezi and make a brief 5 minute presentation to the class on their findings. The presentations are made over a two week period in the middle of the course when the students are learning about how lawmaking helps produce states of "illegality" and begin to understand how migrants experience states of "illegality" and "liminal legality." The objective is to cover as much of the history of immigration and deportation law as possible in an engaging and visually appealing way. ER -
