The Department of Bioethics’ Medicine, Society and Culture track will host Nadia El-Shaarawi, assistant professor of global studies at Colby College, for a talk titled “Solving Displacement: Iraqi Refugees, Mental Health, and the Double Bind of Vulnerability.”
El-Shaarawi will draw on ethnographic research with Iraqi refugees seeking resettlement to illustrate how refugees navigate the opaque, bureaucratic resettlement process and the role that mental health plays in the administration and experience of resettlement.
Her talk will be held Thursday, Feb. 23, from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. in Crawford Hall, Room 09A.
A reception with refreshments will follow the lecture.
