Congratulations and comments to the 2020 Symposium participants!
2020: I was touched by Tahani Aljashaam’s research about the Dadaab Refugee camp. It can be easy to forget the struggles of displaced people. Her personal experience and observations as a refugee are a reminder that community can be a very transitory experience.
2020: Emma Laehn’s project brought to my mind the recent Ethnic, Gender & Transborder Studies Summit. Her project would have fitted very well into the Summit with a lens on the variety of gender relationships.
2020: The research here is really impressive, particularly during these times of social isolation. They are provocative and intriguing projects that highlight the complexities of human societies and how they function. They are also touching examples of our ability to adapt. I suspect we’ll be adapting even more in the coming months.
2020: Congratulations Gregory on supporting and participating in the Symposium. Your parents would be proud of you and we are proud to be your friends. -- Neil & Diane
2020: Toured the website on Sunday, and it looks outstanding! Thanks for going to the effort to make this happen "contact-less". --Jon

2020: Dr. Redhouse expresses so beautifully the reaction of his family and his culture to what I have been calling Coronavirus Interruptus, changes that have been forced upon us in order to stay safer during the pandemic. He has reminded me that returning to cultural and spiritual roots is vital and sustaining.
2020: Tineke Van Zandt’s “Are we distant, close or both?” is insightful. It brings to light so many things we’ve taken for granted, such as the routines and habits we create for ourselves. The disruption has forced us to find new ways of functioning and connecting with one another.
