    What: 

    On March 18, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings will host François Héran for the 14th annual Raymond Aron Lecture. In his remarks, Dr. Héran will discuss the ongoing immigration debate in Europe through a sociological and demographic lens. He will offer analysis on the development and politicization of this debate in an increasingly divided Europe, and present actionable recommendations for policymakers going forward. Following Dr. Héran’s address, Georgetown University Adjunct Professor Anne C. Richard, who served as assistant secretary of state for population, refugees, and migration during the Obama administration, will respond to his remarks.

    Dr. François Héran is the migrations and societies chair at the Collège de France in Paris, and has published extensively on sociology, demography, and migration. He is the founder and director of the interdisciplinary Institut des Migrations, under the auspices of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and he previously served over 10 years as head of the French National Institute for Demographic Research (INED).

    Brookings President John R. Allen will provide welcoming remarks. Brookings Visiting Fellow Célia Belin will moderate the discussion. After the program, panelists will take audience questions.

    The Raymond Aron lecture series, named after the renowned scholar of post-war France, annually features leading French and American personalities speaking on current issues affecting the trans-Atlantic relationship.
