Migration, Discrimination, Gentrification

During the table talk with GRF Sam, the group touched upon the implications of gentrification for immigrants and political participation. As a collective, we saw a connection between communities being split up, and therefore losing a cultural group, to a loss of identity, a diminishment of unity, and consequently a lack of political participation. Having perspectives from students at the table who come from immigrant families also highlighted the contrasting experience different immigrant groups have, especially depending on the strength of the cultural community one is entering. GRF Sam gave insight into the intersectionality of his research, migrant discrimination, and other topics relevant to us as students. Overall, I gained valuable insight from different perspectives, experiences, and learned more about the relevance of GRF Sam’s research.
