Migration

Sociologist and demographer Professor Amy Hsin guides us to a critical junction in the fight against poverty: the profound intersection of immigration policy and systemic inequality. Her insights were originally shared with Notre Dame’s Poverty Research Fellows–a passionate cohort of undergraduates dedicated to wielding rigorous, evidence-based research to uncover lasting pathways out of poverty. By examining the legal and social frameworks that impact vulnerable communities, Professor Hsin illustrates how uncovering the structural roots of inequality is an essential step toward building lasting opportunity.

Poverty Research From Every Angle highlights Notre Dame faculty from across the University leading the charge. This approach is critical because poverty is never a single problem with a single solution–it is a complex web of interconnected challenges spanning health, education, the environment, and our legal systems. No single discipline holds the entire picture, but each illuminates something the others cannot see alone. Over the course of this series, you will see how Notre Dame’s brightest minds are bridging these fields, sharing impactful research, and collaborating to build real, lasting paths out of poverty.
