Scholars Sheila M. Puffer (Northeastern University), Daniel J. McCarthy (Northeastern University), and Daniel M. Satinsky (Independent Scholar) come together for a moderated discussion of their latest book, Hammer and Silicon: The Soviet Diaspora in the U.S. Innovation Economy – Immigration, Innovation, Institutions, Imprinting, and Identity.

The book details the untold story of emigration of the Soviet-trained technical intelligentsia to the U.S. and their contributions in software, biotech, social media, and medicine.

Based on in-depth interviews, the book provides unique insight into the impact of immigration on US economic development in innovation and high technology sectors.

The discussion, moderated by Anna Winestein, Executive Director, Ballets Russes Arts Initiative, is a reflection on the many interviews the scholars conducted that highlight the impact of immigration on U.S. economic development.

A light reception will follow the discussion.
