The fourth episode of the APS Podcast series—Great Talks at the APS—is now available! Tune in for a conversation between Patrick and Dr. Douglas Massey on the history and paradoxes of the Mexico-U.S. borderland. They delve into the decades of research that Dr. Massey and colleagues have done for the Mexican Migration Project. Ultimately, they consider what, if any, policy decisions could and should be made to resolve the limbo of undocumented workers and the increasingly bombastic rhetoric around immigration issues in the United States.
The episode is available on iTunes or Google Play.

He has been the co-Director of the Mexican Migration Project with Dr. Jorge Durand for over 35 years.
