Dr. Bustamante joins us today as part of her related knowledge and expertise in setting up A Migrahack here at DU and in Denver. This is a “hackathon” designed to bring together people with expertise on immigration and people who are knowledgeable about how communication systems and data science might be leveraged to address the needs of those most affected by immigration policies. Dr. Bustamante organized an Arizona Migrahack, about how Denver is an ideal place to launch a migrahack, as we have a vibrant community that is facing numerous issues related to immigration and the related well-being of racialized migrant communities in Denver.
