For over 100 years, people have arrived from all over the world in hopes of making America their home. Many who live in the United States proudly declare that “America is a nation of immigrants.” What are the ideals and historical context that underpin this belief? Using historical and legal case studies, we invite you for presentation which examines diversity and inclusion in the United States through the perspective of immigration. Also, Aimee Wenyue Chen will share her personal story as an immigrant in the United States. Join us at group discussion about issues of belonging and identity in the United States and Ukraine and how we can learn from one another’s experience.
Aimee Wenyue Chen is a Fulbright Public Policy Fellow at the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, Temporarily Occupied Territories, and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine. She is a migration researcher who is interested in issues of displacement, identity, and integration. Previously she worked at the Center for Migration Studies in New York City, and the Yamanashi Prefectural Government in Japan, where she managed immigrant integration programs and international exchange projects. She has also consulted for the Bulgarian State Agency for Refugees. Ms. Chen received her Master of International Affairs from Columbia University and her Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Berkeley.
