“To be displaced is an easy thing. Returning home, now that’s hard.” -Fernando Pamplona, resident of San Carlos, Colombia.

Drawing from her fieldwork in Colombia, Erin Parish explores the process of rebuilding lives, homes, and communities after conflict, focusing on avenues for greater individual, communal, governmental, and institutional collaboration in reconstruction.

Erin Parish is a PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology and will be co-teaching the BorderWork(s) course “At Home/On the Wall” with Robin Kirk in Spring 2013.

Lunch will be served, please RSVP Erin Parish aterin.parish@duke.edu
