"Landscapes of Belonging: Refugee Experiences in Nebraska and Beyond," sponsored by the Goldstein Family Community Chair in Human Rights, aims to provide scholarly knowledge on refugees in Nebraska and global refugee trends through research, teaching, and community engagement.
Nebraska, with a substantial foreign-born population, has been one of the highest recipients of refugees per capita. Nebraska is home to diverse populations from Burma, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Afghanistan. The project, “The Landscapes of Belonging: Refugee Experiences in Nebraska and Beyond," aims to promote research, teaching, and community engagement in understanding refugee experiences in Nebraska and beyond.
- Research: The project will involve conducting and supporting research projects on refugees in Nebraska and globally, focusing on their backgrounds, experiences, and integration into broader society.
- Teaching: The project will support teaching refugee-related topics through developing courses, service-learning projects, and internship opportunities that explore the refugee experiences in Nebraska.
- Community Engagement: The project will enhance UNO's engagement with Nebraska’s refugee communities by organizing events and workshops that raise public awareness of refugees.
