CUNYIIE Invitation and Request to Circulate: Immigration Literature Conference
Dear Queens College Colleagues and Friends, As many of you know, on Saturday, March 8th, we are hosting a BIG PK-12 Immigration Literature Conference<https://www.cuny-iie.org/events-1/immlitconference> at City College, CUNY. This is a critical moment to uplift–and center–our immigrant communities and writers, and the joys of our stories and storytelling. It is also the right time to mobilize our teaching resources and ways of knowing about the nexus between immigration and education. This is a formal invitation for you and your students to join us. The conference is free to all college students, and I want to kindly encourage you to go ahead and complete the registration form<https://www.cuny-iie.org/events-1/immlitconference>. Also, please help us get the word out. Our conference is designed with emergent and experienced educators in mind, and we know that those of you in teacher education will be all the better prepared to teach about immigration after spending the day with us.
