SUMMARY:Immigration Data on Demand (iDod) with Justin Lowry
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Rumi Forum\, Wednesday\, February 22nd\, 2017 at 6:30 pm for a presentation on the economic impact of immigrant groups\, with particular emphasis on economic contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs with Justin Lowry of George Mason University’s Institute for Immigration Research. \nThe Institute for Immigration Research at George Mason University aims to refocus the immigration conversation among academics\, policy-makers\, and the public\, including the business community and media\, by producing and disseminating unbiased and objective\, interdisciplinary academic research related to immigrants and immigration to the United States. As a joint venture with The Immigrant Learning Center\, Inc. (ILC) of Massachusetts\, the research conducted by the IIR examines the economic impact of all immigrant groups\, with particular emphasis on economic contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs possessing high levels of education or skills. The IIR’s concentration on economic questions is nuanced by a socially oriented scientific perspective. \nJustin Lowry will be presenting these findings related to IIR’s Immigration Data on Demand (iDod) service. This service helps individuals and institutions examine the immigrant populations of their particular geography\, and will demonstrate how immigrants provide vital contributions to the economy and society of our nation. Ultimately\, the goal of the iDod project is to create collaborations and connect people with data from their particular region or sector of interest on immigrant populations. \nTo learn more about iDod and the IIR’s work please visit:http://iir.gmu.edu/idod/immigration-data-on-demand-idod \nREGISTER HERE
