Forums

The Center’s semi-regular forums focus on issues of immediate significance. Typically, the Center invites experts to explain or lead a discussion on topics in the news for the general public. Past forms have examined issues such as the 2015 Syrian migrant crisis, immigration policy questions in the election of 2012, and violence directed toward immigrants after the massacre in Sweden in 2011.
