Welcome to the Institute for Immigration Research!
The Institute for Immigration Research (IIR) contributes to a society where attitudes, policies, and rhetoric about immigrants and immigration are based on data, reason, and global contexts.
The symposium officially launched the IIR’s new strength in arts, culture, and storytelling, which complements its longtime focus on the gathering and dissemination of quantitative data about immigrant contributions to the United States.
IIR welcomes Dr. Marissa Kiss, the new Assistant Director. Dr. Kiss is looking forward to collaborating with students, staff, IIR Affiliate Faculty, and others to continue to advance initiatives that strengthen the IIRs mission as well as produce impactful and engaging research that informs policy and empowers communities.
