Bluffton University assistant professor of education, Dr. Paul Neufeld Weaver, will speak at Forum at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 16, in Founders Hall. His presentation will be titled "Sojourners and Borders: Transforming the Immigration Debate."
As Civic Engagement Scholar, Dr. Neufeld Weaver's presentation will discuss the issues facing society throughout the world because of immigration. He will discuss how all of us at one point or another are "Sojourners," and while it is natural to put down roots it is dangerous to exclude people just because they come from another place.
It will stress that immigration is a global phenomenon and does not just occur in the United States. The presentation will focus on the acceptance of all people in a global community and working together to figure out a safe and fair solution to the problem of "illegal immigrants."
