Description

As a senior writer covering immigration for CNN Digital, Catherine Shoichet focuses on telling stories that show the human impact of policies and politics, and much of her work has centered around people and places in Mississippi and other states in the region. In this lecture, she’ll share some of the key things these stories reveal and give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it was like to report them. Topics covered will include the factors fueling migration from Central America, the impact of immigration enforcement on communities, the hidden realities of life inside US immigrant detention centers and what it’s like to fly on a deportation flight. She’ll also discuss how the coronavirus pandemic is reshaping many facets of the immigration landscape, in Mississippi and beyond.
