Losing & Finding a Home:
Policy, Psychological & Human Services’ Aspects of Migrants & Refugees
Friday, June 9, 2017 | 2:30 – 5:00 pm at William James College
We are in an episode of major population shifts, even surpassing those in World War II. Some of the major participants are migrants in search of living resources and a better life; and refugees from war, brutality, and famine. This is one of the major, worldwide social issues. The world is struggling to: acknowledge and understand these conditions, determine values and responsibility, and develop resources and processes to respond. The 40th Annual Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture brings together professionals who will address public policy to cope with this phenomenon, the psychology of the people finding new homes and the communities receiving them, and marshaling and providing the human services with which to respond. We will all share experience and ideas to further these efforts without expecting final solutions, which must evolve as our global society evolves toward caring for one another.
