The cross-disciplinary Global Grand Challenge explores how, and why, Earth\u2019s beings are always on the move<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Lindsay Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At face value, a whale in the Arctic Ocean may have little in common with a Central American political refugee. What connects them, and countless other populations, is their broad identity as migrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also: they\u2019re among the hundreds of subjects explored by Cornell\u2019s Migrations initiative<\/a>, the University\u2019s first-ever Global Grand Challenge\u2014an initiative to unite the Hill\u2019s top scholars under a common mission to tackle Earth\u2019s problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much of the work now under the Migrations umbrella was underway for years or even decades before the initiative\u2019s establishment, it has served as an interdisciplinary bridge between faculty across the Hill whose fields of study are impacted by the movement of people, animals, plants, or even microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of these things are so interconnected, and that\u2019s where Cornell really specializes,\u201d says Wendy Wolford, vice provost for international affairs and member of the Migrations faculty leadership team. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve done for the past three years is pull together a conversation across campus between people who have always thought it would be neat to work together, but this has given them the space to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2019, Migrations has grown to encompass an expanding body of research, workshops, conferences, seminars\u2014even theater, art, creative writing, and a podcast. The initiative has awarded more than $1 million in grants for research, community engagement, and curriculum projects, and engages students through the Undergraduate Migrations Scholars initiative and a new migrations minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As Wolford explains, the theme of \u201cmigrations\u201d emerged from a series of conversations in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus community\u2014including President Martha Pollack, deans, faculty, and students\u2014came together to ponder how the University was uniquely qualified to confront some of the world\u2019s most pressing issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere can we really make a difference?\u201d Wolford recalls asking. \u201cWhat are the questions we could add some weight to?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium included a writing competition, where students were asked to identify\u2014in 300 words or fewer\u2014the greatest problem facing humanity, and how Cornell could help address it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It became clear, Wolford notes, that every school and college across the University had faculty who are leading experts in fields relevant to the comprehensive study of migration. A task force was formed, and the theme was officially announced in fall 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migrations has grown to encompass an expanding body of research, workshops, conferences, seminars\u2014even theater, art, creative writing, and a podcast.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have more migration across the world today than we ever have in the past, and it\u2019s going to continue,\u201d says Professor Stephen Yale-Loehr \u201977, JD \u201981, an expert on immigration law who served on the task force. \u201cWe need to understand how all these different kinds of migration affect and relate to each other\u2014that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to study this from an interdisciplinary and interspecies approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Migrations-supported research has been heavily rooted in the social sciences. For example, when Yale-Loehr wanted to assess the awareness of public healthcare benefits among immigrants, he partnered with a Migrations colleague (Gunisha Kaur <\/strong>\u201906, a Weill Cornell Medicine anesthesiologist specializing in human rights research) on a qualitative survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Their work resulted in a website<\/a>, created by colleagues in CALS\u2019 communication department, where immigrants can easily research health benefits for which they may be eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, many other Migrations topics are centered on cross-border immigration. One ongoing project led by Patricia Campos-Medina \u201996, MS \u201997<\/a>, executive director of ILR\u2019s Worker Institute, focuses on the stories of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) workers from Central America who arrived as political refugees in the 1980s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After they were denied asylum in the \u201980s, Campos-Medina says, Congress\u2019s solution was to create TPS in 1992, a precarious classification that has made many workers feel like outsiders in their own communities. (President Trump canceled TPS for Central Americans early in his term; under President Biden, their protected status was extended until June 2024.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you see the crisis at the border, it\u2019s easy to say, \u2018Why do they keep coming?\u2019 or \u2018We can\u2019t take everybody,\u2019\u201d says Campos-Medina, a native of El Salvador whose parents came to the U.S. as political refugees in the \u201980s. \u201cBut the reality is that Central Americans have been migrating to the U.S. for a long time, and they never received a proper admission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much of Migrations\u2019 research is people-focused, the initiative is distinct in its inclusion of animal-related scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For example, Aaron Rice, principal ecologist for the Lab of Ornithology, examined the impact of climate change on bowhead whales in the Alaskan Arctic; they have long been a source of food and fuel for indigenous communities who plan their lives around the whales\u2019 movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Central America, Migrations task force member Amanda Rodewald, the Garvin Professor of Natural Resources and the Environment in CALS, examines the role of human narco-trafficking in the deforestation of biodiversity hotspots, which has displaced the region\u2019s migratory bird species.<\/p>\n<\/div>

And in southern Africa, Steve Osofsky, DVM \u201989, the Jay Hyman Professor of Wildlife Health & Health Policy and director of Cornell Wildlife Health Center<\/a>, has spent decades studying the effects of fences\u2014meant to protect domestic beef cattle from contracting foot-and-mouth disease from wild buffalo\u2014on the ancient migratory patterns of the region\u2019s elephants, wildebeests, and other wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closer to the Hill, Migrations has supported artistic investigation and performance, particularly through its partnership with the Mellon Foundation\u2019s Just Futures Initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after its launch, the initiative presented an exhibit focused on human migration at Cornell\u2019s Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art\u2014a relationship that has continued with the annual Migrations visiting artist program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the 2021\u00ad\u201322 academic year, a local arts group received a Migrations community engagement grant to produce a season of shows\u2014including An Odyssey<\/em>, a \u201ccommunity-based theatrical spectacular\u201d performed at the Hangar Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2023, Migrations announced its latest round of grant-funded projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They include studying the effects of climate transitions on the wildlife of Nilgiris, India; working to document and revitalize two indigenous languages of the Cayuga Lake Basin region; and developing an undergraduate course on Ithaca\u2019s history with the Underground Railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
