Life After War: Disturbed

Transport yourself to a dozen countries, some decades into their post-war years with shots and storyboards spotlighting now, and horizon issues for growing populations. These are places where demands are vast, human engagement is critical, and investment can go far.

Life After War: Disturbed is a close look at forced migration and mental health. The Consortium on Forced Migration, Displacement, and Higher Education (CFMDE) hosts the photo exhibition at Vassar College until December 2, 2019. Founded by Vassar, Bard, Bennington, and Sarah Lawrence colleges in 2016, with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Consortium also partnered with the New School and the Council for European Studies. CFMDE explores what role institutions can play in addressing forced migration and displacement and is working to develop a shared curriculum in Forced Migration Studies.
