A guest lecture with political sharpness and an international perspective
On July 7, 2026, current migration research meets a topic of high societal relevance in Regensburg: Ukrainian refugees and the change in US immigration policy. Prof. Dr. Claudia Sadowski-Smith from Tempe, Arizona, speaks at the University of Regensburg about the changes in American immigration policy since 2022.
What the lecture is about
At the center is the question of how the US government has responded to the flight movement from Ukraine and why new forms of temporary protection have emerged from it. The official event notice describes the situation as part of a broader change under the Biden administration. At the same time, it becomes clear that the debate on asylum, humanitarian admission, and legal protection mechanisms has long transcended individual cases.
