"After Comprehensive Immigration Reform: A National Immigrant Integration Policy" This talk is part of the PRI Brown Bag Series, but the Immigration Working Group selected him and will be coordinating his visit. Lunch will be provided at the talk. In addition, there will be opportunities to meet with Michael during his visit. We'll get in touch with you about this as the time gets closer.

His work focuses on immigrant integration, citizenship policy, immigrant children and families, the education of immigrant students, the effect of welfare reform on immigrants, and the impact of immigrants on the US labor force.

He served on the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on the Redesign of US Naturalization Tests and is a member of the Advisory Panel to the Foundation for Child Development's Young Scholars Program.
