Structured Luck: How U.S. Immigration Policy Affects Immigrants 

Structured Luck: How U.S. Immigration Policy Affects Immigrants 

This talk explores the impact of immigration policies from economically advantaged countries on both the people in less advantaged nations, particularly in the Global South, and the immigrants who enter under these policies. The speaker will take us on a transnational journey, delving into the societal, personal, and political implications of the U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. Highlighting the trauma, resilience, determination, and mobility of those who immigrate to the U.S. through the DV program, the talk will conclude with a call for economically advantaged countries to adopt policies that better integrate immigrants into their societies.

Speaker
Onoso Imoagene, Program Head of Social Research and Public Policy; Associate Professor of Social Research and Public Policy, NYUAD
