Two Dahdaleh Institute Community Scholars, Linn Biorklund Belliveau and Carol Devine, presented at the 2019 North American Refugee Health Conference on June 14.
Speaking on a panel about Advocacy, they shared their insights from a research trip to Mexico's southern border. Linn and Carol spoke to the social and environmental forces which push people to flee, extreme levels of violence migrants face along their route and the criminalization of humanitarian aid.

Being an "illegal" migrant is an administrative issue. Thank you @caroldevine and @Abyssopelagic for your powerful presentation on criminalized humanity and forced migration from Central America. #NARHCTO #MSF
