The issue of migration studies
is, in one sense, unfortunately
cast upon us, because there
have been reactionary movements
throughout the world against
immigrants and refugees.
And it's important for
intelligent, well-trained
individuals to step up
and to not just challenge
those anti-immigrant
voices intelligently,
but to come up with solutions
to these very, very difficult
problems.
My name is Andrea
Portillo, and I
am in the Masters
in Migration Studies
program at the University
of San Francisco.
I decided to join
the program because
of my personal connection
with the topic of migration.
Both of my parents are
immigrants from Mexico.
I've always known
what it's like to be
an immigrant in this
country and having
to go through the barriers
that you have to go through,
from not knowing a language, and
working jobs that maybe don't
pay you as high as
you need to be paid,
navigating even the
education system.
We are trying to take the
best of migration theory
so students have very
academically rigorous courses
and also to practice, as well.
So we like our
students to be engaged
a migrant organizations,
maybe to work on policy,
volunteer with groups.
Having the Migration
Studies program centered
at the University
of San Francisco
in this rich, diverse,
immigrant-centric city of San
Francisco benefits the
program profoundly.
San Francisco offers not
only a diversity of peoples,
but a diversity of
service providers.
It's been great to
study immigration here,
because this is a safe space.
And there's a lot
of organizations
and a lot of people
who are working for
and are advocating
for this community.
Students have the
option of studying
in Mexico City their second
semester, spring semester.
They take classes with
students in the Mexico program
at the Jesuit university there.
One of the great things
about this program
is there's something
for everybody
here, from economy, from
politics, from education,
from even anthropology.
It's all about being inclusive,
and giving back, and working
directly with the community.
