Forbidden Subjects: Sex, Class, and Race and 150 Years of Immigration Exclusions

Description

This all-day Schouler Lecture symposium, "Forbidden Subjects: Sex, Class, and Race and 150 Years of Immigration Exclusions," commemorates the 150th anniversary of the first federal restrictive immigration law (the Page Act of 1875) with leading scholars of immigration history and law from around the country and Johns Hopkins. The lecture symposium will offer a unique opportunity for interested students, faculty, and broader community members to come together around what will likely become an even more urgent topic in the new year.

This symposium is sponsored by the Department of History; the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism; and the Program in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies.
