Refugee Tales

Inspired by the Canterbury Tales, representatives from the London-based group “Refugee Tales” walk in solidarity with Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Immigration Detainees, reclaiming the landscape of South East England for the language of welcome. Representatives from the group will present their project, discuss their call for the end of indefinite detention in the United Kingdom, and read the published tales of refugees with whom and for whom group walk. Making connections with migrants in Middlebury, earlier in the day (Time TBD), we will take a short walk around Middlebury, tracing the geographical spaces where migrants have touched our community.

Speakers: David Herd, University of Kent and Anna Pincus, Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group.

Sponsored by the History, International studies and English departments.
