Arizona is at the center of debates over the impact of immigration and diversity on education. The issues we will address are flashpoints for heated political disagreements, misunderstanding, and counter-productive vitriol. This year's Border Justice event will provide a forum to discuss immigration and diversity in education from multiple perspectives.

Debates over immigration and border policy continue to move toward the center of political discourse in the United States. Here on the West Campus of Arizona State University, we remain committed to organizing productive, action-oriented forums for discussing border issues. Please come join us for a day of music, art, important conversations, and the riveting film, Rights on the Line: Vigilantes at the Border.

A two-day forum focusing on the impacts of corporate policy on international borders, particularly the US-Mexican border. Event will feature the screening of Maquilapolis and a discussion with the directors, Vicky Funari and Sergio De La Torre and promotoras/workers, Carmen Durán and Lourdes Luján. Other events include a public art exhibition entitled Producing the Border, a community conference, student scholarship and more.
