Undergraduates Publish on Immigration Court Watching

Published October 17, 2026

We are proud to share that two of our undergraduate students have published pieces in an October 2026 special issue of the Public Ethnography Lab's open access journal, Semi-Structured. 

  • Stacey Montoya, Anthropology and Political Science '27 — "The Hopeless Observer" (Art)
  • Bobbie Barren, Anthropology '26 — "Man-Made" (Poem)

The issue, "On Ethnographic Witnessing: Student Encounters with Immigration Court," features the work of 22 student ethnographers, who offer their insights, analysis, and experiences in immigration courtrooms across the country. Congratulations on your publications, Stacey and Bobbie, and for contributing to this socially impactful work!
