U-M Op Ed Project: Martha Jones on Birthright Citizenship
Martha Jones has published an analysis piece as part of The Washington Post's Made by History series. In "The 14th Amendment Solved One Citizenship Crisis, but it Created a New One," Jones explores how birthright citizenship came to be a barrier for undocumented immigrants.
Jones, a 2003-04 faculty fellow at the Institute for the Humanities who recently left U-M for a position at Johns Hopkins University, began the piece as part of a workshop through the Op Ed Project, a social venture founded to increase the range of voices and quality of ideas we hear in the world. The U-M workshop was sponsored by the Institute for the Humanities, LSA, and the U-M ADVANCE Program.
