“Share the Platform: Collaborative Strategies for Refugee Integration in Academia”
Speakers: Alfred Babo & Anita Fábos, Co-Founders of Share the Platform
This event has ended, but you can watch the recording.
For the Spring ‘24 semester, the Belonging Talks center on the theme of “Co-Creating Workforce Integration and Belonging for Refugees and Communities.” Our speakers explore topics related to sustainability and inclusivity for refugees in the workforce and in communities.
Clark University SSJ professor, Anita Fábos, will be joined by colleague and Fairfield University professor, Alfred Babo, to present about the Share the Platform initiative they started in 2019. The mission of Share the Platform is to “center the expertise of refugees to improve policy, programs, and practice.” They will converse about strategies for those of non-refugee backgrounds to better advocate for and “share the platform” with fellow colleagues from refugee backgrounds, including a discussion of best practices from a refugee perspective.

Moderators: Leora Kahn & Craig Mortley, Co-Convenors of Share the Platform
This event is hosted by the Integration and Belonging Hub at Clark University as part of the Belonging Talks Speaker Series, and is co-sponsored by the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice and the School of Professional Studies.
