Immigration expert to speak at WSU
A University of Minnesota immigration expert will speak Tuesday at Winona State University.
The American Democracy Project welcomes Ryan Allen, assistant professor of community and economic development at the Humphrey Institute of Public Policy at the University of Minnesota.
The lecture is titled “Immigration in the Heartland: Latinos in Minnesota.”
It’s planned for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Somsen Auditorium and is open to the public.
A question-and-answer session will follow the lecture, said Matt Bosworth, a WSU professor who is organizing the event.
Allen’s expertise focuses on the community and economic development processes of immigrants in the United States.
The American Democracy Project includes roughly 200 schools that are trying to engage young people in political and civic issues.
