THE SCHOLARLY CONVERSATION
This project is given weight because of the ways in which real lives are being affected by these executive order. The impact does not just come from a piece of paper that was signed, but from the ideologies and power structures that made this oppressive move a reality. That is a kind of power that has existed long before this ban, and will continue to last unless we actively challenge it with all we have.

This section contains PDFs or sources that informed me when working on this project. This list is not extensive for the topic nor the project, but instead a start to the scholarly work that additionally grounds this project.
I aim to enter the conversation of how the way immigrants are framed in our media coverage (specifically through the top-read newspapers) affects not only the perceptions of the readers, but also marks public trends. Unfortunately, a lot of the coverage of various groups of immigrants are similar in their depictions, so although some of the pieces above might be about Latinx migrants, some of the themes translate to coverage of Muslim immigrants (even with the vast diversity of nationalities, languages spoken, race, etc.)
