Migrant communities in today's world - how local community solidarity & collaboration is crucial to building inclusion and support for migrants

In the research that i have undertaken, i examine cultural, historical, political, linguisitic, and economic perspective to understand why Poland's response to the influx of Ukrainian refugees has been different than its approach to previous forced migration episodes.

I also examined how local, grassroots solidarity needed to be joined with a strong government response in order to create a powerful and sustained support for the Ukrainian migrant community.

The paper by FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at Harvard University, with contributions from Vasileia Digidiki, Jacqueline Bhabha (Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights) Urszula Markowska-Manista & Joanna Dobkowska (University of Warsaw, Poland), was a great material that changed the way that I thought about my research topic.
