Bibliography and Reading 

While the podcast is an oral history compendium and not a research project, some of our listeners and readers have requested a reading list related to immigrant statistics and experience. Here are some of the articles and books I’ve been reading. This list is not comprehensive, nor in any particular order.

These resources (and more lists) are also available at the IEEE Mirror Page for this Podcast.

Articles and books about the immigrant experience and immigrant statistics in the US. Also includes readings about women in STEM/CS.
