| Primary Exempt Purpose | Mission listed on website: The Undocumented Migration Project UMP is a long-term anthropological study of clandestine movement between Latin America and the United States that uses ethnography, archaeology, visual anthropology, and forensic science to understand this violent social process and raise awareness through research, education, and public outreach. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |

|---|---|
| Research and Education: The UMP possesses over a decade worth of research that uses a combination of ethnographic, archaeological, forensic, and visual anthropological approaches to understand various aspects of unauthorized border crossings. By combining ethnographic work in Mexico with forensic and archaeological research in Arizona, the UMP has improved our knowledge of this highly politicized and poorly understood process and demonstrated how an archaeological approach can provide new insight into a contemporary social phenomenon. The research being conducted by the UMP is interdisciplinary, a fact reflected by the projects diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, the wide range of venues where this work is being published, and the ethnographic-archaeological field school that has been running in Arizona and Mexico since 2010. | $5,823 |
| Public Outreach: The UMP aims to take social science research and translate that data into large-scale, interdisciplinary, public outreach endeavors intended to raise awareness around issues related to immigration and social justice. The UMP's current spotlight endeavor, Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94), is a participatory exhibition combining education and art occurring in nearly 150 cities around the globe. HT94 seeks to illuminate and create a public discourse around the humanitarian crisis occurring at the U.S.-Mexico Border. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the exhibition has been extended far beyond its original end date of 2020 and will continue into 2025. As of December 2023, nearly 100 exhibitions have occurred around the globe. It is anticipated that by the end of 2024 between 40,000 and 60,000 people will have participated in the creation of the exhibition. These numbers do not include the thousands of anticipated visitors to the exhibitions nor those reached virtually. | |
| Community Engagement: The UMP engages with communities impacted by migration in many ways, going far beyond the participatory exhibition framework. From 2021-2023 the UMP has been partnering with organizations to assist in efforts to maintain missing person records of presumed migrants, identify individuals who have gone missing along the U.S.-Mexico border, and provide their families with information about their whereabouts while creating networks for support. Moving into 2024 the UMP aims to shift community engagement efforts more towards youth impacted by migration and the complicated co-contributing factors such as climate change providing community workshops and projects focused on multi-modal storytelling. |
