 * Transnational Migration since the Late-Nineteenth Century **

This session will emphasize recent historical scholarship on the position the United States occupied in the broader trends of international migration. Paying special attention to global contexts and the phenomenon of return migration, we will explore the highpoint of Western migration before and after the turn of the twentieth century. Comparisons will be made across regions and to the post-1965 resurgence of immigration and related misunderstandings and mythmaking about the earlier period. The latter part of our session will showcase work with a variety of student centered discussion and instructional protocols to emphasize strategies that foster student literacy and critical thinking skills.
