New UCSC course: enforcement & deportation

Updated: Feb 10, 2021

Note: I periodically update this post (as identified below), including a section on Covid-19 and immigration enforcement at the end of this post


I am teaching a class focused entirely on U.S. immigration enforcement and deportation; its varied histories and contexts, determinants, and consequences across a range of domains below.

While preparing the syllabus, I compiled a list of readings whose volume could not possibly fit into a 10-week course. I share the list here in case it's useful.

Notes on what I included:

I am only assigning readings available electronically for students at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I teach. Hence, I tend to assign articles rather than books (although a few ebooks and open source books are included and I added a separate post on books here). In some cases, I assign an article that preceded a book-length manuscript. Keep in mind that the list is not meant to be comprehensive. Instead, I have tried to identify readings and analyses that have been particularly influential in my own approach to studying enforcement and deportations. Oversights are not intentional.

News items, short policy briefs, and long-form journalism are in my syllabus but not the list below.

When compiling the list below, my goal was to include readings from sociology (since this is a sociology course), but you will see readings from other disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches as well (e.g., demography, economics, anthropology, public health, law, public policy, political science, education, history, psychology, and geography).

Most of the weeks cover a range of methods as well, and the readings represent both academic and public policy experts who have either been working in the field for decades or -- like myself -- who are at the earlier stages of our careers.
