About the Weatherhead Migration Cluster: In 2022 the Harvard Weatherhead Center for International Affairs awarded a “research cluster” award to FXB Center Director of Research Jacqueline Bhabha and Harvard Graduate School of Education Associate Professor Sarah Dryden-Peterson for a 3-year seminar series on migration. Dr. Vasileia Digidiki, an FXB Health and Human Rights fellow and Harvard Instructor, is also a core member of the cluster. The title of the research cluster is “Building Inclusion, Sustaining Solidarity: Frontline Host Communities, Distress Migrants and the Role of the State.” It is construed to include work that covers both government and non-government practice and how it impacts the well-being or rights of refugees and other distress migrants. The funding supports a group of Harvard doctoral students working on topics related to the cluster’s focus, and a regular seminar series open to all members of the Harvard community.
