With over 1 percent of Cuba’s population having attempted entrance into the US in the past nine months alone, Cuban migration through land and sea is experiencing record numbers and notable demographic changes.
Join the Center for Democracy in the Americas (CDA) and a panel of experts for “Root Causes, Recent Trends, and the Impact of U.S. policy on Cuban Migration” to examine recent trends in Cuban emigration, the possible causes to the record-breaking migration, and what makes this current migratory wave distinct. This timely webinar, featuring all Cuban experts, will provide historical, political, and socio-cultural analysis coupled with on-the-ground reporting to discuss the recent trends and how U.S. policy impacts Cuban migration. Audience members will also have the opportunity to ask the panelists questions.
Panelists:

Ailynn Torres Santana, postdoctoral researcher at the International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-Strategies
Denisse Delgado Vázquez, Doctoral Candidate in Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts, Boston
