Beyond Dreamers: Undocumented Youth Imagining Futures

Join the CPCP for a conversation with Sofya Aptekar and Cynthia Carvajal on Sofya Aptekar and Amy Hsin’s new book, Beyond Dreamers: Transitions to Adulthood in an Uncertain Age (Russell Sage), which examines the experiences of undocumented CUNY students with education, work, family, and romantic relationships. Taking a life course lens and based on interviews with a diverse group of people, the book pushes against the construct of the Dreamer, while analyzing the way the figure of the Dreamer is used to discipline immigrants and shape policies on campus and beyond.

The event will also feature the artwork of Lupita Romero.
