Dr. Wendy Pearlman on the Voices of Refugees

Individuals forced to flee their homes due to war, famine, crime, or natural disaster often struggle long after they have found a new place to live.

Dr. Wendy Pearlman has interviewed hundreds of Syrian refugees and shared their stories in three books and a recent lecture at Heartland Community College.

Dr. Pearlman discusses the impact that displacement has on individuals and the communities that may not understand the plight of refugees.
