Show Notes

This is our second interview with Dr. Luis Zayas, dean of the School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin. We are revisiting the issue of deportation threat for the children of the undocumented, only this time we're focusing on younger adults who are affected by the current state of limbo of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Dr. Zayas uses his insight into the phenomenom of deportation anxiety to gives us a new lens through which to see our current moment.
