Sarah Hunger, Class of 2008, Political Science and French “Integration of French Immigrants”

“The Nanovic grant enabled me to do on-site research for my political science honors thesis that aims to explain why the French integration system has failed . . . While I was in Paris this past winter, I stayed with a family who had immigrated to France, and in speaking with their family about the topic, I saw their distrust of the government and the immigration system. According to much of the immigrant population, there really are two Frances, one for the native population and the other for those that immigrate.”
