The Center for Italian Studies at Stony Brook University is hosting the U.S. component of a two-series international conference: "The Challenge of Migration in Europe and the United States: Comparing Policies and Models of Reception," with presentations by judges, prosecutors, journalists, religious and labor representatives, and scholars that will analyze the causes, behavior and effects of both voluntary and forced migration across Europe and North American.
