CIBER Focus: "Sustainable Development Part 2: Using Identity to Create Durable Communities" with Dr. Frances Trix - Feb. 16, 2017

In Part 2 of our series on Sustainable Development & Human Migration, Dr. Frances Trix uses her years of research and working alongside refugees in North America, the Balkans, and Turkey to share her insights on how Human Migration can be made more sustainable.

When working with migrants, particularly those who are forced to leave, it is important to listen to the people being transplanted and to find ways to harness the organizational, emotional, and cultural strengths they bring with them. As Dr. Trix argues, fostering identity can be a powerful way to harness this strength.
