Few issues in the current U.S. political climate sparks more fervent debate than the role and fate of undocumented immigrants. A new series at UC Santa Barbara, “Changing Faces of U.S. Citizenship,” will explore immigration and seeks to bring the Santa Barbara community into the national conversation on this contentious subject.

The first event of the series, “Citizens of Nowhere: The Case for Embracing the Stateless,” is Friday, Feb. 16, at 4 p.m. in the McCune Room on the sixth floor of UCSB’s Humanities and Social Sciences Building. David Baluarte, an associate clinical professor of law and director of the Immigrant Rights Clinic at Washington and Lee School of Law, will be the speaker. A panel discussion featuring four UCSB scholars will follow.
