A Statement of Solidarity with Black Lives Matter and Against Anti-Blackness
SDSU’s College of Arts and Letters stands in solidarity with our Black communities. We denounce racism in any form and violence against Black people, and we stand firm in our belief that Black lives matter.
As a community of university faculty and staff, it is our duty to actively support and advocate for solutions to systemic racism across our nation, the world, and our campus. Read the full statement.

New Directions in Research on Immigration and Crime
Tuesday, May 3 | 2 p.m. | Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, Pride Suite
Do immigrants commit more crime than non-immigrants? Do increases in immigration cause crime rates to rise in communities?
These questions are at the forefront of discussions about crime and public safety in the United States. Public opinion data suggest many residents believe the answer to these questions is an unqualified “yes” but does scientific research agree? In this talk, Charis Kubrin reviews what we know about the immigration-crime link — highlighting opportunities and pitfalls from her own research journey — and discusses new directions in research.
