Please join us for the Lundquist Lecture and the announcement of next year’s Eldon F. Lundquist Award winner on April 6, 2022 at 7pm in EA 1011.
Neovi M. Karakatsanis will deliver her Lundquist lecture “In the Middle of Nowhere, Yet in the Center of the World: The Aegean Refugee Crisis.”
Dr. Karakatsanis will discuss the plight of refugees in Chios, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. She will illuminate the physical dangers faced by refugees crossing the Chios Strait, the conditions in refugee camps on the island, including violent clashes between ethnic groups, and the xenophobia of the Greek population. In the face of yet another European refugee crisis, what lessons are there to be learned from Chios?
