This webinAAR was prompted by questions about how to teach controversial topics and specifically how to teach students about immigration/migration in our current socio-political context. Addressing issues such as birthright citizenship and deportation practices, this webinar aims to examine effective ways to teach about immigration in ways that are informative and navigate the complexities of addressing “hot-button topics.” As scholars of religion, our panelists will address the unique role religion plays on the various sides of this topic including the personal and professional. The goal of this webinar is to provide insight and resources on how educators can face the complex realities of immigration and religion in and beyond the classroom.
