From Radical Hospitality to Radical Accountability: Higher Education's Role in Newcomer Integration
February 12, 2025 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Lynch Room (Fogler Library @ UMaine) & Online
Zoom link: https://maine.zoom.us/j/85365239232?pwd=qiG6Kf5RgBJBQGqacDiARwk1GZgFeR.1
Featuring Diya Abdo, Lincoln Financial Professor of English at Guilford College, Director of Every Campus A Refuge and author of “American Refuge: True Stories of the Refugee Experience (Truth to Power)”
Join this conversation with Professor Diya Abdo and Orlina Boteva, director of International Programs at UMaine, to learn about the ways in which universities in Maine (and across the nation) are currently supporting refugees and im/migrants and why this is an important commitment from a community engagement perspective, a student-centered perspective, and an institutional accountability/responsibility perspective.
This salon is supported in part by a grant from the Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series Fund with additional support from the University of Maine’s Office of International Programs, the University of Maine at Augusta and the University of Maine System.
Professor Abdo’s Biography:
Dr. Diya Abdo is the Lincoln Financial Professor of English in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Guilford College and the founding Director of Every Campus A Refuge. A second-generation Palestinian refugee born and raised in Jordan, Dr. Abdo’s teaching, research, and scholarship focus on Arab women writers and Arab and Islamic feminisms as well as refugee and immigrant issues. She has also published poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Her book AMERICAN REFUGE: True Stories of the Refugee Experience, published by Steerforth Press in 2022, was selected by the North Carolina Humanities as a North Carolina 2024 Reads Book and by Alamance Public Libraries as the Alamance Reads Book 2024.
In 2015, inspired by Pope Francis’ call on every European parish to host one refugee family, Dr. Abdo founded Every Campus A Refuge (ECAR), which advocates for housing refugee families on college and university campus grounds and supporting them in their resettlement. The flagship chapter at Guilford College is now one of many ECAR campuses across the nation which have collectively hosted over 600 refugees and supported their inclusion in local communities. Dr. Abdo designed the minor Forced Migration and Resettlement Studies at Guilford College where students learn about refugee issues and receive credit for hosting refugees on campus and supporting them in their resettlement.
Dr. Abdo is the recipient of the Emerson Collective Fellowship (2024), the J.M. Kaplan Fund’s Innovation Prize (2021), Campus Compact’s Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award (2019), Gulf South Summit’s Outstanding Service-Learning Collaboration in Higher Education Award (2017), and The Washington Center’s Civic Engagement in Higher Education Award (2017). In 2018, she was named a finalist in the Arab Hope Makers Award. She has been making presentations about ECAR far and wide, including the White House and the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Dr. Abdo sits on the Advisory Board of the Community Sponsorship Hub. She lives in Greensboro, N.C., with her partner and two daughters. To learn more, visit the ECAR website or watch Dr. Abdo’s TEDtalk.
This event is open to anyone who wants to attend (all students, faculty, staff, and the general public).
