THE 5TH CONFERENCE ON IMMIGRATION to THE US SOUTH
OCTOBER 23-25, 2014
Gainesville, Florida
The 5th Conference on Immigration to the US South (formerly Conference on Immigration to
the Southeast) is a multidisciplinary meeting focusing on immigration and its impact in the US
South. Conference panels will also engage in comparative analysis of other regions and bring in
transnational and global perspectives. Under the theme, “Immigration Reform and Beyond,” the
conference will feature keynote presentations by Archbishop Thomas Wenski (Archbishop of
Miami), Dr. Mae Ngai (Lung Family Professor of Asian American Studies and Professor of History
at Columbia University), and Mónica Ramírez (El Centro de los Derechos del Migrante). In addition,
several conference presentations aim to promote an understanding of short-term and long-term
challenges of immigration reform. Other panels will focus on undocumented youth, immigrant
detention, legal and policy issues, media and public opinion, immigrant health and education issues,
and best practices in community-based and faith-based organizing.
The UF Center for Latin American Studies was founded in 1930 and has been recognized as a
National Resource Center by the US Department of Education since the early 1960s. The mission
of the Center for Latin American Studies is to advance knowledge about Latin America and the
Caribbean and its peoples throughout the hemisphere. With over 170 faculty members from colleges
across UF, the Center is one of the largest institutions anywhere devoted to interdisciplinary
research, teaching and outreach on Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies.
As one of the major initiatives of the Center, the Program for Immigration, Religion, and Social
Change (PIRSC) seeks to develop effective models of intervention, exchange, and outreach,
deploying the resources of the University of Florida to address the urgent needs of immigrant
communities in the U.S. South.

Title: The Church Religious Perspective on Immigration Reform
President A&B
Born in West Palm Beach on October 18, 1950, Archbishop Thomas Wenski
grew up in Lake Worth, Florida with his sister and his parents of Polish
descent. He studied as a seminarian in Florida and was ordained a priest
of the Archdiocese of Miami in 1976. As a priest, Father Wenski was known
for his devoted support of the pastoral and spiritual needs of the Haitian
community of South Florida by serving at mission parishes and centers aiding
newly arrived immigrants. In 1996, he was appointed the Archdiocese Director
of Catholic Charities, where he helped forge a collaborative relationship with
Caritas Cuba, the social service arm of the Catholic Church in Cuba.
In 1997, he was ordained auxiliary Bishop of Miami, and remains the only
Florida native serving as a bishop in the state. Through the years, he served
on a number of community and civic organizations, including Miami-Dade
County’s Homeless Trust, the Coordinating Council of Broward and in 2001,
Governor Bush appointed him to the Florida Council on Homelessness as well
as the Governor’s Task Force on Haiti in 2004.
In 2004, Bishop Wenski assumed the role of bishop of the Diocese of Orlando, and returned to Miami in
2010 when he was installed as Archbishop of Miami. He also has traveled a number of times to Cuba and
Haiti, especially since the 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas.
In addition to English, Archbishop Wenski is fluent in Haitian Creole and Spanish.
The archbishop’s episcopal motto is “Omnia Omnibus,” which means “all things to all men.” The scriptural text
is taken from St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, “I have become all things to all men, to save at least some.”

KEYNOTE SPEAKER MÓNICA RAMÍREZ6:30-7:30
Title: The Pendulum of Anti-Immigrant Animus and Its Impact on Discourse, Policy and Public Action
President A&B
Mónica Ramírez is an activist, attorney, author, teacher, and speaker. She is
recognized as one of the nation’s leaders in the movement to end workplace
sexual violence against farmworker and low-wage immigrant women.
Daughter and granddaughter of migrant farmworkers, Ramírez has been a
farmworker, anti-sexual violence, women’s and immigrant rights activist for nearly
two decades. She is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago and The Ohio State
University’s Michael E. Moritz College of Law. She is currently a 2015 candidate
for a Masters in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School.
After graduating from law school, Ramírez founded the first legal project in the
United States dedicated to ending, remedying and preventing sexual harassment
and other forms of gender discrimination against farmworker women in Florida.
She launched this Project in 2003 with the support of Florida Legal Services, Inc. and the Florida Bar
Foundation through an Equal Justice Works Fellowship.
In 2006, Ramírez began working with the Southern Poverty Law Center, as director of the national project
Esperanza: The Immigrant Women’s Legal Initiative. In this role, Ramírez worked until 2012 to defend the
rights of farmworker and other low-wage women. In addition, she created a national working group to
address workplace sexual violence against farmworker women, and she founded The Bandana Project, a
public-awareness campaign.
Ramírez is the co-editor and author of various chapters of the manual Representing Farmworker Women
Who Have Been Sexually Harassed: A Best Practices Manual. Ramírez has also served as an attorney and
supervisor within SPLC’s broader Immigrant Justice Project, advocating for the civil and employment rights
of immigrants and other community members in the Southeastern United States.
In August 2012, Ramírez expanded the reach of our advocacy to the international arena when she became
the Acting Deputy Director of Centro de los Derechos del Migrante (CDM), the first transnational legal
project based in Mexico City with satellite offices in Oaxaca and Baltimore, Maryland. In addition, Ramírez
broadened her domestic work on behalf of migrant women by leading CDM’s bi-national efforts related to its
Proyecto de Mujeres Migrantes (The Migrant Worker Women’s Project). Through this initiative, Ramírez and
her colleagues strived to serve migrant women pre-departure from their hometowns, during migration and
throughout their time working in the United States.
14
She is a founding member of several groups and alliances advocating for human and farmworker women’s
rights including CounterQuo, and Alianza Nacional de Campesinas (The National Farmworker Women’s
Alliance).
