Thurs., 4/11 @5 PM, Jason de Leon will discuss Soldiers & Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, at William James Hall 105. Co-sponsored by EMR, DRCLAS Latinx Initiative, the Contemporary Ethnography and Social Inequality Workshop, and the Department of History, Jason De León, Professor of Anthropology and Chicana/o Studies at UCLA, creates public dialogue, exhibitions, and media about undocumented migration and the ongoing humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. He has been recognized with a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship for his work as an anthropologist and scholar examining the inequalities and brutalities of human migration through a variety of lenses. De León shines a light on the human consequences of U.S. immigration and border policies, offers a counterpoint to public media perception of migrants, and puts names, faces, and stories to the thousands of individuals who have died in their attempt to reach the United States.
