The conversation will take place on Thursday, March 26 at 4 p.m., in the Bargman Room of the McNichols Campus Library.

The event will also feature an introduction to Babo’s recently published book, Exiled Scholars in Western Academia: Refugees or Intellectuals?, which presents experiences of scholars residing in exile and how they experience a paradox of inclusion and exclusion.

In his talk, Babo will highlight how academics and intellectuals are often among those who must flee their home countries and are rescued during times of crisis. He will explore how those who seek asylum or exile in the United States face challenges of acceptance in ways that shift their research and practice.

Currently serving on the board of Scholars-at-Risk (SAR), Babo also co-founded the initiative called Share the Platform, which advocates for refugees’ self-representation and expertise.
