Yuki Oda, a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of History at Columbia University, will present research in progress on his dissertation titled"Family Unity in U.S. Immigration Policy, 1921-1976," which examines the development of the right to family unity in U.S. immigration and deportation policy. He is studying the papers of the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference at the Social Welfare History Archives, and will discuss how its predecessors sought to reform deportation laws in the late 1930s in order to prevent separation of mixed-status families.
Before joining Columbia University, Yuki studied at the University of Tokyo and at the University of California, Berkeley. His previous research topics include "Mexican Immigration and Border Control under the Immigration Act of 1924," published in the Journal of Pacific and American Studies in 2006.
