Adrien Cuellar-McGuire, humanities professor in the Brookhaven College School of the Arts, participated in a round table discussion at St. Anne’s College at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom of Great Britain, from Aug. 3-8th. The topic was “Human Migration: Borders and National Interests.” Last fall, she was asked to participate in the round table and present a paper, “Immigration and Diversity: Conflict in an ‘American’ Town.” In addition to the prestige of the experience, Professor Cuellar-McGuire said she benefited most from the discussion of serious immigration issues and a broader view of the discrimination immigrants face across the U.S. and the world. The purpose of the Oxford Round Table, a not-for-profit educational organization, is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of contemporary issues that affect the public good in all its various forms and ramifications.
