Migrant Voices in International Studies
Over the past three years, students in Allegheny College’s Introduction to International Studies have used the Sites of Conscience Syrian refugee oral history interviews to create digital projects that promote a further understanding of the Syrian Refugee Crisis through a focus on refugee voices and their understandings of their experiences. The goal of this ongoing project is to share these stories to humanize individuals and families fleeing war that are too often labeled as either helpless victims or dangerous entities rather than the extraordinary individuals they are. We invite you to listen and learn from these remarkable life experiences.
