Details

Beyond Borders will collaborate with Diya and MSA to host a panel discussion surrounding the language barriers that often follow immigration, and how they shape assimilation and other facets of life – for example, challenges in finding community, entering the workspace, and accessing healthcare and legal services easily. Panelists will include Duke professors specializing in Linguistics and professionals in the (mental)healthcare and legal fields. We will examine how language can become a barrier to belonging and opportunity, and what it takes to make these systems more accessible.
Food Provided (To be determined.)
