We are pleased to announce the Immigration Reform, Agriculture, and Rural Communities conference June 13-14, 2007 at UC-DC in Washington DC. Its purpose is to assess the provisions of pending immigration reform proposals, the roles of legal and unauthorized farm workers in US agriculture, and the implications of continued immigration for rural communities. The agenda and papers presented at the 2006 conference are at:

We are seeking papers from researchers that examine the impacts of immigrants in particular commodities and communities; we are able to provide travel support and a small honorarium. If you have such a paper, please send an abstract or paper to
plmartin@ucdavis.edu before February 15, 2007. If you are interested in participating, please let me know; we will send out an announcement with the agenda in March 2007, and post it on the web site.
