DESCRIPTION:Panelists include:\n\nMatthew Countryman (University of Michigan)\nKarla Goldman (University of Michigan)\nBrian Williams (University of Michigan)\n\nThe history of immigration in the United States is one of bans\, quotas\, restrictions\, and exclusions. Immigrants have negotiated inconsistent and discriminatory definitions of authorized and unauthorized belonging and targeted restrictions on citizenship since the nation’s founding. This symposium brings together scholars who will illuminate the historical experiences of Asian American\, Latinx\, African American\, Muslim\, Jewish\, gendered\, and sexualized immigrants from the late-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.\n\nMatthew Countryman is associate professor of history and American culture at the University of Michigan and author of Up South: Civil Rights and Black Power in Philadelphia (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2006).\n\nKarla Goldman is Sol Drachler Professor of Social Work and professor of Judaic Studies. She is the author of Beyond the Synagogue Gallery: Finding a Place for Women in American Judaism (Harvard Univeristy Press).\n\nBrian Williams is lead bicentennial archivist at the Bentley Historical Library at the University of  Michigan.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.
