When I was five years old, my family and I moved to the U.S. from Uzbekistan, an obscure third world country formerly part of the Soviet Union. Ever since then, I have been interested in immigration policy, which is why I chose it as my topic for the Junior-Senior Research Project. Specifically, I plan to examine the political, economic, and cultural implications associated with immigration. I will concentrate primarily on migration from third-world countries to developed nations, one of my main focuses being refugees seeking political asylum. With this in mind, I have narrowed down my research primarily to the U.S. and the countries that are major sources of migration. I plan to support my research with first person accounts of what it is like for an immigrant assimilating to a new culture. It will allow me to get a personal perspective on my topic along with the objective research. Monday, January 14, 2008
