This project is a result of a semester-long study of the complex topic of immigration, as guided by Rick Rodriguez, professor of the Transnational and Latino Issues course taught at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The students came together organically after discovering their common passion for this specific topic within the broader conversation of immigration in Arizona.
