CONAA Council on Nursing & Anthropology Abstracts, 80th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, Albuquerque, NM, March 17–21, 2020

摘要

Border communities, some of the poorest in New Mexico, saw an exponential rise in families seeking asylum, coming from Central America in the past 2years. In a humanitarian response, these communities provided hospitality and medical care to asylum-seekers transiting through the area. What is the role of applied anthropology in the context of human rights for those caught in changing border policies? Roundtable participants are locals who live and advocate for the rights of those on both sides of the border. Engaging the public in grassroots action and promoting border community response are central to this session.
