For elected officials\, th e making of immigration policy can be a politically risky undertaking. Ques tions about immigration – how many should be allowed to come\, who should b e allowed to come\, and on what terms – cut to the core of what political c ommunities are about. In democratic societies\, political elites mobilize p ublic sentiment to gain office\, and they depend on public support to stay there and\, ultimately\, make policy.
This workshop will bring togeth er leading scholars of public opinion with policy practitioners to share an d discuss cutting-edge work analyzing what people in modern\, immi grant-receiving countries think about immigrants and immigration\, why< /em> they think it\, and how knowing the answers to these questions shapes the policy-making process. Research presentations will focus on immigration attitudes in Canada\, Europe\, and the United states. In addition to discu ssing latest research\, workshop participants will reflect on how their wor k sheds light on broader relationships between researchers\, media\, the pu nditocracy\, and the political class.
