Abstract(s)

Presenters will use roundtables to spark conversation (one topic at each table) with one panelist at each table. Before starting roundtable discussions, each panelist will be given a short amount of time to present an overview of the discussion that will occur at her or his table. After these brief presentations to the whole group, the discussions will began at the tables. Towards the end of the time for the table discussions, the table leaders will provide concrete resources (e.g., websites, readings, pedagogical activities, etc.) to the participants that will facilitate the participants in taking actions to address the topic of the table. The session will conclude with table leaders summarizing the table discussions and reviewing the action items discussed.

Objectives

Table leaders in 10 topics will be integrating these ideas associated with (1) racism and international families and (2) family struggles with mixed legal resident status into their larger topic.
