OPR scholars have achieved groundbreaking advancements in migration theories, knowledge, and policy development both in the United States and globally. Faculty at OPR are investigating diverse subjects such as variations in migrant labor-market outcomes across European nations (Adsera), the impacts of the Great Black Migration from the rural South during and post-World War II, along with the large-scale European migration to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s (Boustan). Their research also covers how international immigration affects domestic affairs, political participation of immigrant communities, factors influencing discrimination and ethnic tensions (Dancygier), as well as migration patterns, economic transformations, female workforce participation, and issues of race and ethnicity (Fernandez-Kelly).
