The whole world has been watching immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Probably not too many South Carolinians have been there during this time. But Professor Will McCorkle just returned from Minnesota.

McCorkle is an Associate Professor at the College of Charleston with a research focus on the intersection of nationalism, immigration, and education with a particular focus on more marginalized migrant communities. He is also the program director of the University’s Master’s of Teaching, Learning, and Advocacy.

Professor McCorkle talks about his personal experience and interaction with others at protests and vigils.

He also shares his conversations with small business owners and the effect the ICE activities have had on their business.
