The inauguration of a new U.S. president presents an inflection point, a moment of possibility just before a candidate’s election promises meet the realities of governing. As the U.S. enters the second Trump administration, SFS faculty offer their thoughts on how the 47th president’s statements during the campaign, policies during his first term, and nominations and appointments announced thus far might impact different regions and issue areas around the world. The views expressed are the views of individual SFS faculty and not the views of SFS.
In this conversation, SFS Professor Elizabeth Ferris discusses the impact of President Trump’s rhetoric and actions surrounding migration. She delves into possible effects on immigrant communities, the economy and wider societal attitudes in both short and long-term contexts. Watch to learn more about Ferris’ insights into the future of migration in the United States under Trump.
