Global Aggies: Teaching and Researching the Human, Social, and Economic Aspects of Migration
By Global Affairs on November 19
"UC Davis is committed to being a tireless advocate for international students and scholars. One case in point is the multidisciplinary work of the UC Davis Global Migration Center, led by founding director and international scholar Giovanni Peri.
As an expert in labor economics, urban economics, and the economics of international migrations, Peri is a professor of economics in the College of Letters and Science, who knows the repercussions of migration like the back of his hand. This past summer, his work became especially relevant when a change to federal guidelines posed a significant impact on international students, with coverage in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and a host of additional global news outlets.
Because the UC Davis Global Migration Center houses a multidisciplinary team of political scientists, economists, humanists, anthropologists, legal scholars, ethnic and cultural studies scholars, sociologists, and historians, together they are uncovering fact-based knowledge through their research endeavors. Peri, who himself is an international scholar from Italy, is first to underscore the need for this type of work."
