CUNY-IIE

CUNY - Initiative on Immigration and Education (CUNY-IIE)  

Co-PI with Tatyana Kleyn (PI), Ariana Mangual Figueroa (Co-PI), and Daniela Alulema (Project Director) 

CUNY-IIE is a New York State Education Department funded project that provides opportunities to learn from immigrant communities throughout New York State who are directly impacted by increasing political tension and discrimination. The project aims to develop multimodal and multilingual resources, and to build upon the strengths of mixed-status immigrant communities including undocumented, refugee, and asylum-seeking members. At CUNY-IIE, educators, researchers, families and local leaders work together to learn about, from, and with immigrant communities, act in ways that center our shared humanity regardless of legal status, and advocate for equitable policies and opportunities at the intersection of immigration and education.  (2019-2024)
