From Persecution to Refuge: Grassroots Peacebuilding in Displacement
Colombia, Kenya, Uganda, India, Sri Lanka
My project explores how refugees and forced migrants build and imagine their futures while they are displaced. By immersing myself in displaced communities, I seek to learn about the obstacles and breakthroughs of peacebuilding and reconciliation beyond institution-mediated processes.
