The Ruby is honored to host historian Hardeep Dhillon, a foremost scholar on California and US immigration history. Much of immigration law as we know it originates from cases from San Francisco. Wong Kim Ark's case solidified birthright citizenship as a core principle of US law.

Professor Dhillon's current book project, tentatively titled America’s Modern Immigrant Family, studies the legal construction of the mixed-status family.

She will be joining us for a casual conversation alongside Ruby Daniela Blei, on her extensive work to provide valuable context to the current experience of immigrants in this country. There will be opportunities to ask questions as well.

This is an all-genders welcome event and kids over 10 are also welcome to join.

This event is free but RSVPs are required to attend.
