Description
The Russell Sage Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York jointly support innovative research on immigration and immigrant integration in the United States. This initiative is a special area of interest within RSF’s Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration Program, which also considers a broader range of research. It examines how race, citizenship, legal status, politics, political culture, and public policy affect immigrants and U.S.-born populations across racial and ethnic groups and generations.
The initiative seeks to strengthen theory, methods, and empirical knowledge about integration. Priorities include improving measurement across generations and legal statuses, creatively using administrative and other data, and examining how institutions and policy changes advance or impede immigrant progress. Historical studies that illuminate contemporary integration are also welcome.
