Hate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Cynthia Miller-Idriss shows how tomorrow’s far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms, and YouTube cooking channels. She demonstrates how young people on the margins of our communities are targeted in these settings, and how the path to radicalization is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood. Most importantly, she offers ideas about the role that all of us – from academics to parents to TV presenters – can work together to halt the march of extremism in the US, Europe, and around the world.
This virtual event is co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology.

The migration studies minor is a university-wide, interdisciplinary undergraduate minor that prepares students to understand the historical and contemporary contexts and factors that drive international migration and shape migrant experiences around the globe. This minor draws on the rich course offerings found across the humanities and social sciences at Cornell, and is designed to draw students outside of their major fields and to extend their knowledge beyond a single country.

In this exhibition, graduate student curators Lynda May Xepoleas '23 and Emily Hayflick '25 explore the different ways international students helped to foster cross-cultural understandings of dress on Cornell's campus in the mid-twentieth century.

Join us for an information session to learn more about the new cycle of Migrations grants, open to all PI-eligible faculty (including tenured, tenure-track, professors of practice, senior research associates, and clinical-track faculty), irrespective of their college or school. Faculty-led programs and centers within the university are also welcome to apply.

With support from the Mellon Foundation Just Futures Initiative and Global Cornell, we are funding U.S.-focused work that has long-term and discernible benefits addressing racial and immigrant justice on campus and beyond. Research that has a broader international focus may apply for multispecies, interdisciplinary Migrations grants on any subject related to migration. We offer two tracks, based on our funding sources.

Track 1: Mellon Foundation Just Futures Initiative: Supports research and engagement focused on the United States and centered on the connections between racism, dispossession, and migration in interdisciplinary, innovative, and impactful ways.

Just Futures Team Research Grants, three grants of up to $150,000.Just Futures Small Grants, up to five grants of up to $10,000.Just Futures Engagement Grants, four to eight grants of up to $25,000.Track 2: Migrations: A Global Grand Challenge: Researching, Teaching, and Building for a World on the Move. Supports innovative, multispecies, and interdisciplinary approaches to key international migration issues. Aims to cultivate collaborations that advance science, scholarship, teaching, outreach, and engagement in ways that generate new insights into critical problems.

Migration Cross-Disciplinary Research (Team Research Grants) and Migrations Research (Individual Faculty): $10,000–$50,000 maximum awards. The objective of this funding opportunity is to promote path-breaking research on migrations at Cornell and, in particular, research with an impact that might resonate across multiple fields of study.The Cornell Migrations co-directors will address any questions about priorities, selection criteria, budgets, and other guidance on how to prepare a successful application.
