I direct the Rural Immigration Network<\/a>, which shares good ideas for and from people living in rural parts of the United States, as they seek to build community with their immigrant neighbors.<\/p>\n

I co-direct the Engage Immigration<\/a> project, funded by an Associated Colleges of the Midwest Faculty Career Enhancement Program grant, which brings together educators from midwestern liberal arts colleges exploring best practices in public scholarship, civically engaged learning and immigration studies.<\/p>\n

My earlier attention to US immigration questions involved research and events designed in cooperation with St. Olaf students and multiple\u00a0community partners in Rice County, Minnesota, including the Faribault School District, Faribault Community Education, Growing Up Healthy, and\u00a0the United Way of Faribault.<\/p>\n
