Research on Tap: Initiative on Forced Displacement: Research, Pedagogy, Engagement, and Ethical Impact

Over 70 million people are currently forcibly displaced by wars and persecution, more than ever previously recorded. Most of these displaced individuals come from low income countries and are forced to flee to neighboring countries that are ill-equipped to provide for them, leading to massive challenges for displaced and host communities alike. This Research on Tap session will bring together faculty from across Boston University’s schools and colleges to explore research imperatives and pedagogical initiatives related to forced displacement. We hope to foster multidisciplinary collaborations that can engage faculty, students, and staff in one of the major global challenges and moral imperatives of our time.
