Doctoral Candidate Thomas Nail receives Fulbright for study in Canada

Thomas Nail has been awarded a 2009-2010 U.S. Fulbright scholarship to conduct his dissertation research in Toronto, Canada, as a Visiting Scholar at the Center of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement (CERIS). Drawing on the political philosophy of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, his research will focus on the political organization and theoretical innovations of Canada's extremely diverse and burgeoning immigrant rights movement. In Canada he will be working with Sima Zerehi, of No One is Illegal-Toronto, Professor Peter Nyers at McMaster University, and Jay Lampert at the University of Guelph.
