Cross Cultural Perspectives: Genocide in Modern History

Saturday June 23, 2012, the Museum of Anthropology is honored to host Dr. Gerald Brown, director of the Utah Refugee Services Office, who will present on the process of resettling in the U.S. as a refugee from genocide, the roadblocks encountered in incorporating people into a new culture, and the help the refugees need to overcome their traumatic experiences. The presentation will begin at 1 p.m. in the museum. Dr. Brown has more than 30 years of experience working with refugees and people displaced as a result of genocide and is an expert in this field. The topic of the presentation is adult oriented, but, as always, children are welcome in the museum and activities such as mask making and storybooks will be available.
