Immigration-Related Dissertations 2000 As
part of its mission to examine and critique American immigration policy, the
Center for
Immigration Studies serves as a resource
for policymakers, journalists, academics, and others
looking for the latest immigration research
and news. Through its e-mail news services (CISNEWS and
This Week in Immigration), papers, books, and a Backgrounder series, the Center strives to
provide in-depth coverage of this complicated issue. The very vastness of the
topic, however, means that those involved in one facet of the issue can’t
keep up with developments elsewhere. In order to make the task less daunting,
the Center continues its annual compilation of doctoral dissertations (plus a
few master’s theses) exploring some aspect of immigration; this issue lists
those completed in 2000. Abstracts of the dissertations listed below
can be viewed free of charge through the end of this year (and complete copies
obtained for a fee) from ProQuest Digital Dissertations at http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations. For ease of use, this list is organized into categories:
