CPC Frank H. T. Rhodes Annual Symposium and the Center for the Study of Inequality co-sponsors conference on immigration  

The Criminalizing Immigrants: Border Controls, Enforcement, and Resistance conference will be held November 9-10 on Cornell's campus. The "criminalization" of immigration through more restrictive immigration policies and stricter enforcement of existing policies affects migrants and their families, communities, and labor markets in sending and receiving nations. The conference will examine the causes and consequences of the criminalization of immigration, drawing on empirical projects from around the globe. The conference is organized by CPC affiliates Filiz Garip (Sociology), Shannon Gleeson (School of Industrial & Labor Relations), and Matthew Hall (Policy Analysis and Management). See the program here.

Highlights from the CPC Seminar Series: Patrick Ishizuka

CPC Frank H.T. Rhodes Postdoctoral Fellow Patrick Ishizuka presented Motherhood Penalty in Context: Assessing Discrimination in Low- and High-Skilled Occupations. The study draws on Ishizuka's original field experiment of more than 2,200 fictitious applications to actual job openings in 2 low-skilled and 2 high-skilled occupations, experimentally manipulating signals of motherhood status. Mothers received fewer callbacks from employers than equally-qualified childless women in both low- and high-skilled jobs.
