Faculty Spotlight: Professor Karen Jacobsen on Afghan Resettlement in the United States

I thought it worth sharing a recent interview with Fletcher Professor Karen Jacobsen in TuftsNow focusing on the resettlement process of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees in the United States. Jacobsen, the Henry J. Leir Professor of Global Migration at Fletcher, underscores the logistical and political challenges involved in mass resettlement efforts and the on-the-ground factors that can be significant determinants of successful or failed integration efforts, such as the presence of a preexisting diaspora community.
