In collaboration with Loyola University Chicago, we are planning a special event for Fall 2008 focusing on the plight of children caught in the whirlwind of conflicting immigration policies and attitudes. The event, titled Suffer the Children: The Nightmare of Immigration Politics, will be presented on 30 October 2008 at 6:00 p.m. at the Loyola University Museum of Art on Loyola's Water Tower Campus, 820 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago, 60611 (map).

Dr. James Garbarino, director of Loyola's Center for the Human Rights of Children and Professor Bruce A. Boyer, director of Loyola's Civitas Children's Law Clinic will make presentations on the legal, psychological, and cultural issues affecting children trapped in immigration politics. To complement these presentations with artistic insight into immigration issues, the students of Loyola's theatre program will perform original dramatic pieces written by Mexican author Moisés Zamora and Chicago playwright Lisa Dillman.
