2023 Refugees in Towns Symposium: Why exploring how refugees understand & experience race matters

The Refugees in Towns Project at the Henry J. Leir Institute for Migration & Human Security presented its 3rd annual convening on April 14, 2023. The Race and Migration Symposium draws on RiT’s ongoing research with the Hello Neighbor Network focused on assessing how refugees come to understand and experience race in the U.S. RiT founder and director Dr. Karen Jacobsen offers opening remarks before research partners Rachel Vinciguerra of the Hello Neighbor Network and Jeri Stroade of Dwell Mobile share their motivations for partnering with RiT to explore this important topic.
