Protracted Displacement Economies

ABOUT OUR PROJEСТ
The Protracted Displacement Economies (PDE) project explores the diversity of people’s social and -economic experiences in communities, areas and places affected by displacement. This focus on ‘affected communities’, rather than distinguishing ‘hosts’ from ‘refugees’ helps to decrease ideas of difference between displaced people and ‘hosts’, and thus, challenge the idea of refugees and other displaced people as a burden on communities. Our approach allows us to think about ways in which people’s mobility, even when unchosen, can create new possibilities for supportive interactions within and between communities.
