Humber Liberal Arts Conference
Displacement and Diaspora: Excluded Identities
Main Loft
90 minsExploring displacement in three distinct parts of the world, this panel makes the specific and personal universal. One panelist will present a study dedicated to uncovering the driving forces that push Sub-Saharan African migrants to choose dangerous, off-the-beaten-path routes, particularly in Morocco. Another examines the predicament of crime displacement in Nigeria, and its harmful consequences, with an emphasis on women and children in internally displaced- person camps across Nigeria, while the third uses a study of Palestinian refugee poetics to seek a deeper understanding of the experiences of diasporic communities in hopes of challenging dominant narratives that perpetuate the marginalization of refugees and foster a more inclusive and diverse understanding of displacement in contemporary society.
This event is part of the annual interdisciplinary Humber Liberal Arts Conference.
Presenters:
Siham Soulaimi (Faculty of Languages, Arts, and Human Sciences at Ait Melloul)
Tony Onyema (University of Ibadan, Vivendi Media Concepts)
Waed Hasan (SETS Department, University of Guelph)
