We have discussed creating an edited volume of interdisciplinary work, to which we may invite contributions from scholars from other universities. We have also established a working relationship with grassroots movements such as Padres Unidos, as well as Wilkinson Iluminación project. We already have two books under contract from the proceeding of last year’s immigration conference.
