This workshop at Arizona State University brings together social scientists to present research on immigration, its impact on transnational migration, diverse populations and communities, and law and policy. Participants include twenty-five U.S. and foreign scholars whose research interests reflect a variety of disciplines (e.g., sociology, anthropology, economics, geography, public policy, public health) and different contexts--from the U.S. to Europe to Africa. Participants' research and discussion will address several questions, including:-- What are the varied historical and contemporary reasons for the movement of populations (refugees, laborers, etc.)?-- What are the consequences of transnational migration for the sending and receiving countries?-- What are the relationships between and among immigration, refugee flows and race-based hate crimes including rape and ethnic cleansing?-- How does immigration affect notions of citizenship, identity and belonging?-- What factors explain historical and contemporary legislative responses to immigrants and refugees? To what extent can theories of racial threat and moral panics help explain these responses?-- Are we witnessing new patterns in offending by and victimization of immigrants (with particular attention to human trafficking, victimization of day laborers, and victimization of immigrant women by violent partners)?The investigators leading the conference will produce a report that summarizes trends that emerged in findings reported and identify promising agendas for future social science research.

这个研讨会在亚利桑那州立大学举行，汇集了社会科学家，介绍移民研究，移民对跨国移民的影响，不同的人口和社区，以及法律和政策。参与者包括25名美国和外国学者，他们的研究兴趣反映了各种学科（如社会学、人类学、经济学、地理学、公共政策、公共卫生）和不同的背景——从美国到欧洲到非洲。参与者的研究和讨论将解决几个问题，包括：-人口流动（难民，劳工等）的各种历史和当代原因是什么？——跨国移民对输出国和接受国的后果是什么？——移民、难民流动与基于种族的仇恨犯罪（包括强奸和种族清洗）之间的关系是什么？——移民如何影响公民身份、身份和归属感的概念？什么因素解释了历史和当代对移民和难民的立法反应？种族威胁和道德恐慌的理论在多大程度上有助于解释这些反应？——我们是否目睹了移民犯罪和移民受害的新模式（特别是人口贩运、日工受害和移民妇女遭受暴力伴侣的受害）？主持会议的研究人员将编写一份报告，总结报告中出现的趋势，并确定未来社会科学研究的有希望的议程。
