Noshing With Joachim Reimann, Ph.D. – October 26, 2023

This week, Ira spoke with Joachim Reimann, Ph.D., author (along with Dolores I. Rodríguez-Reimann, Ph.D.), of "Immigrant Concepts: Life Paths to Integration. ' In this assimilative edition of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Joachim talks about what motivated him to focus on immigration; the surprising things he learned while writing the book; why part of the book is a “manual” for immigrants to help them adjust; the process of acculturation and why some migrant groups take a generation or two to adapt; and why immigration can be beneficial to a host country while also acknowledging the limits to uncontrolled migration.
