Professor David Abraham Delivers Paper on Immigration in Denmark

(Posted: 06-14-13) Professor David Abraham delivered a paper titled "Immigration and Social Solidarity in a Declining Welfare State" at the interdisciplinary International Matchpoints Symposium at the University of Arhus in Denmark.

Abraham argued that the neo-liberal assault on social solidarity and other welfare state principles make it incumbent on policy makers, while supporting immigration and immigrants, to leave multiculturalism behind and encourage immigrant integration. Professor Abraham teaches Property, Immigration & Citizenship Law, Citizenship and Identity, Law and the Transition to Capitalism and Law and Social Theory. He has been widely published in each of those areas as well as serving as a frequent media commentator for American, German, and Israeli newspapers and television.
