Book Title: The Health of Newcomers: Immigration, Health Policy, and the Case for Global Solidarity
Author: Patricia Illingworth and Wendy E. Parmet
Selection Statement:
This book has played an important role in the development of my research agenda, which focuses on two key questions: How does health law impact immigrants? And how should we understand immigration law as health policy? I was inspired by the book’s frameworks for navigating two typically siloed fields: health law and immigration law. My work builds on these frameworks to demonstrate how insights from each field can inform the other, and to highlight how they intersect to produce health inequities.
