Religion and immigration inspire passionate debate, but are immigrants and their beliefs causing the social fabric to unravel? In this lecture, Peggy Levitt of Wellesley College and Harvard University argues that immigrants are, in fact, the translators, bridge-builders, and religious diplomats that the United States so desperately needs.<\/p>\n

Peggy Levitt is a professor of sociology at Wellesley College and a research fellow at The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University where she co-directs The Transnational Studies Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
