CMENAS Event. Beyond Faith-based Humanitarianism: What Everyday Responses to Iraqi and Syrian Displacement Tell Us About Encountering Difference
Tahir Zaman, Deputy Director Sussex Centre for Migration Research (SCMR), School of Global Studies, University of Sussex
Drawing on research conducted with Iraqi refugees in Damascus and Syrian refugees on the Turkish-Syrian border, Dr. Zaman considers how displaced people re-imagine understandings of religious traditions to produce a distinctive geography of belonging. In so doing, a window opens for us to reflect on what decolonial readings of refuge and the sacred can offer.
