Conversations for an Engaged San Diego: The Future of High-Skill Migration and Technology in the United States

The United States has a long history of "importing" talented workers from around the globe while simultaneously providing world-leading training for the next generation of scientists, engineers, managers and medical professionals. Students and workers from India have been particularly visible in the recent U.S. technology boom. But recent trends in U.S. immigration policy, competitive forces from other countries and new outsourcing opportunities present challenges. The incoming Biden Administration will have its hands full. Join Ambassador Nirupama Rao and Professor William Kerr to hear more about how we got here and what we can expect in the near future.

Panelists:
• Ambassador Nirupama Rao, Indian Ambassador to the United States (2011-2013)
• William Kerr, Professor, Harvard Business School
• Gaurav Khanna, Assistant Professor, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (Moderator)
