Sabrineh Ardalan (Harvard Law School) and Philip Torrey (Harvard Law School)
First-Year Seminar 66D | 4 Credits (Fall 2024) | CANVAS SITE
Thursday, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
The public discourse on immigration is widespread and divisive. If you have ever wanted to know more about how our immigration system operates, its faults, and potential ways to fix it, then this seminar is for you. The goal of the seminar is to teach students in an interactive and welcoming environment the basic aspects of U.S. immigration policy, the role of lawyers in immigration advocacy spaces, and how to develop creative advocacy strategies to advance immigrants’ rights. The course will leverage the experience and expertise of faculty members with the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program (“HIRCP”) to explore the multitude of ways immigration policies can be challenged and reshaped either in Congress, the courts, or the public discourse.
