Contributing authors of Children and Youths’ Migration in a Global Landscape (Emerald, 2022) are joining the Migrations initiative to speak about their work and writing.

The edited volume asks how transnational mobility shapes the lives of young people and in each chapter, scholars present the stories of children from areas such as Myanmar, India, Hungary, the U.S., and Central America. Individually, these case studies address issues related to educational attainment, family reunification, social mobility, and identity. Collectively, these studies push us to question our assumptions about what it means to be a transnationally mobile child or youth.

The discussion will be moderated by Migrations postdoc Angel Escamilla García and one of the book’s editors, Adrienne Lee Atterberry.

Volunteer with the Foreign Language Introduction Program! FLIP has introduced thousands of children in Upstate New York to world languages and cultures. Volunteers from Cornell and surrounding communities who speak foreign languages provide fun ways for K–12 students to learn about and engage with our increasingly interconnected world.

FLIP's first organizational meeting and volunteer orientation of the semester will take place on September 23rd, 11:30am to 1:00pm, at Uris Hall G08. Lunch and beverages will be served! We welcome everyone who considers joining FLIP or has any questions about FLIP to attend this organizational event – a great opportunity to meet with our team members, previous volunteers, and get to know more about our program.

Please let us know about if you would like to attend, and any dietary restrictions! If you have friends who are interested in FLIP, please feel free to forward this email to them as well. We are looking forward to seeing you all next Friday!

This talk argues that income growth conditions citizens’ responses to changes in inequality. Poor and rich alike respond to rising inequality by demanding more redistribution when their incomes stagnate or decline. Income growth renders the poor less concerned about inequality and makes the rich think that the poor ought to be able to manage on their own. This talk tests these claims by matching data from the European Social Survey with objective measures of income inequality and income growth over the period 1999-2018, and also mobilizes original 2019 survey data on perceptions of inequality changes and the state of the macroeconomy.
