A comparative perspective on immigration can provide important understandings and insights into the new wave of immigration into the United States. In looking at different time periods in the history of American immigration and migration, Professor Marilynn Johnson will lead a thoughtful discussion utilizing contemporary research about the immigrants of today along-side historical research about immigration to America in past eras. The factory rooms, oral histories, primary sources, and artifacts at the Tsongas Industrial History Center will make our study come alive as we tour museum exhibits and take part in the interdisciplinary “Yankees and Immigrants” program.
