Professor Emerita of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Rodgers was awarded a Scholarship in Action grant in May 2018. Drawing upon five years of collaboration with the Worcester Refugee Assistance Project and with the Refugee Artisans of Worcester, Rodgers’s “Refugee Resettlement in Worcester” entails an anthropological ethnography about how refugees now living in our city are making new homes and new lives for themselves here after fleeing extreme violence in their countries of origin. Rodgers and Holy Cross student researchers conducted life history interviews with refugees and former refugees, ages l8 to 70, about various aspects of their resettlement journeys. Additionally, an exhibition of refugees' crafts (curated by Rodgers and students) were displayed at the Worcester Center for Crafts in 2020 as part of the project.
