The Center for International Programs presents International Education Week 
Failing to Protect Bare Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Forced Migrants as Carriers of the Virus

Dr. Claudia Donoso presents a critical exploration of the vulnerabilities faced by forced migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. This session examines how public health policies and societal attitudes often framed migrants as carriers of the virus, affecting their treatment and access to resources. Dr. Donoso will discuss the implications of these narratives and what they reveal about the intersections of migration, health, and human rights. Join us for an insightful conversation on protecting marginalized communities during global crises.
