Working Papers
The Web is changing every dimension of scholarly life, altering not only the way scholars search for information and do research but the way they make the results of their research available to each other and to wider publics.
Increasingly, the IHRC webpage itself resembles a “working paper. It is very much a work in progress that will almost always reward the regular visitor and reader.
The IHRC sometimes fields inquiries from persons around the nation and the world who have learned about the special events we sponsor and who would like better access to those presentations. Please email drg@umn.edu who can put interested scholars into contact with participants in IHRC seminars and special events.
Throughout 2007-2008, we will post abstracts for papers presented as part of the “Global REM (Race, Ethnicity, Migration) Seminar.”
