The CUNY-Initiative on Immigration and Education (CUNY-IIE) invites you to join us on for the PK-12 Immigration Literature Conference, a one-day event designed to inspire educators to incorporate immigration-themed literature into their classrooms, fostering deeper understanding of the migration experience. 

Edwidge Danticat will serve as the opening keynote speaker. An acclaimed author of 17 books, including the children’s book Mama’s Nightingale: A Story of Immigration and Separation, Krik? Krak!, a National Book Award finalist, The Farming of Bones, an American Book Award winner, and Brother, I’m Dying, Danticat’s work delves into the Haitian experience and the complexities of migration.
