Brown Presents: How Are Immigrants, Conservatives, & Public Policy Interacting at the Grassroots?

Based on original research, the seminar links the problems immigrants face in integrating in new communities across eight states in the US. The seminar will focus on evaluating for the audience how public policy makers and communities have aimed to welcome immigrants through public policy, on the one hand, and resist immigrant integration on the other. Specific attention will be paid to recent conservative policies (focused on education) and politics (linked to the Tea Party) as they relate to the rising population of immigrants using county-level data.
Heath Brown is associate professor of public policy at John Jay College. He is the author of four books, including his latest, Immigrants and Electoral Politics: Nonprofit Advocacy in a Time of Demographic Change which was published by Cornell University Press in 2016. He has written for The Atlantic, American Prospect, and the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog. He is currently working on a project on conservative policy making since the 1970s in the United States, especially the impact of demographic change on participation in choice-based policies. This will be the basis of his work during his ARC visit. He serves on the Executive Board of the American Political Science Association – Political Organizations and Parties (POP) Section, is reviews editor of Interest Groups and Advocacy, and is the co-lead of the New York City chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network.
