Regents’ Professor and Director of the Martin-Springer Institute Dr. Björn Krondorfer will moderate the panel Home & Identity: The Refugee Experience on refugees at the Coconino Center for the Arts on Thursday Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. To be a refugee is not an identity but the result of losing one’s home. In this vibrant panel discussion moderated by Dr. Krondorfer, panelists will share insights regarding the experiences of people who have become refugees, of people who are suffering from displacement and despair, of people in need of a welcoming hand who, instead, often face closed doors and hostilities. This panel is part of the current exhibit 25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee at the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff. The panelists include: Hakeem Naim (NAU, history) on Afghanistan, Maryna Borysenkoa from the Ukraine on Ukrainian refugees, Paul Lenze (NAU, Politics & International Affairs) on Syrian refugees, and Leah Mundell (NAU, Anthropology) on refugee issues in South Africa and the AZ/Mexican border.
