Amanda Poole of the Department of Anthropology co-authored an article in the Conversation, aiming to share research with a popular audience.
Amanda Poole co-authored an article titled "Why Eritrean refugees choose risky migration to Europe" with Jennifer Riggan, professor of international studies at Arcadia University. The article drew from their ethnographic research on refugee policy in Ethiopia to address the question: Why do so many refugees engage in irregular onward movement despite grave risks and the presence of programs intended to stop them from migrating?
