Join this session of the Gerhart Center Webinar Series featuring Nour Halabi, assistant professor of media and communication at the University of Leeds. The session will discuss the speaker's book titled Radical Hospitality: American Policy, Media, and Immigration, which re-imagines the ethical relationship of host societies towards newcomers by applying the concept of hospitality to two specific realms that impact the lives of immigrants in the United States: policy and media. Nour Halabi will present during the session a historical policy and media discourse analysis of immigration regulation and media coverage during three periods of US history: the 1880s and the Chinese Exclusion Act, the 1920s and the National Origins Act and the 2000s and the Muslim travel ban.
