Periodically in history, immigrant women have been the target of dehumanizing anti-immigrant rhetoric and violence. In response, we have created this podcast Immigrants Wake America, in partnership with the Tenement Museum in New York.


Immigrants Wake America features storytellers who share stories about migration and the centrality of immigrant women in their lives. The podcast will be a living archive of stories that have not been heard before and serve as an intervention in the ways in which immigrant women’s (hi)stories are narrated and passed on..


Hosts and Producers: Shruti Jain & Le Li, PhD students, Binghamton University. Shruti and Le are international students from India and China respectively.


Executive Producers: Dr. Lisa Yun, Associate Professor, Binghamton University; Kathryn Lloyd, Director of Programs, Tenement Museum
