Between Nations: Preserving the Remnants of Home

A 50,000-word ethnographic story was written at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was revised to become a short story emphasizing the critical themes reflecting the refugee experience.

A 50,000-word ethnographic story was written at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was revised to become a short story emphasizing the critical themes reflecting the refugee experience. It begins with a prospectus exploring the theoretical framework, then the two main sections follow, and it ends with an afterword. Research articles were analyzed that included works by Edward Said, John W Berry, and Braun and Clarke to provide a foundation for the text. Qualitative research methods such as virtual field notes, journaling, and personal conversations have provided the knowledge to construct this text. As a refugee whose every day was not promised, this text sheds light on the unspoken anecdotes of a refugee’s journey.

Refugees are a vulnerable population that are forced to conform to a life that is totally and completely different from what they are used to. Not only is the food and clothing different, but also the concepts such as handwashing, applying deodorant, and having health insurance. Although refugees are given multiple resources, most, unfortunately, do not know how to utilize them. This is why the Refugee Education and Clinic Team was founded in the Fall of 2017. The Refugee Education and Clinic Team (REACT) is a collaboration between the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and Arizona State University. REACT’s mission is to mitigate healthcare disparities. Mitigating the healthcare disparities that refugees can be as simple as holding a handwashing workshop. Educating is as crucial as providing health care. That excruciating tooth pain can be preventable with a dental hygiene workshop. Families will benefit from learning about pregnancy prevention. The stomach pain that many of the elders experience most likely will be from the gas caused by the food being consumed. Going to the communities and offering an hour of educating about health has and will positively impact refugee families. Ensuring that topics that will actually benefit these families is essential. Research is vital to inquire what health topics need to be taught and what services will be included in REACT’s scope of practice. The research conducted will be the Community Health Needs Assessment, which is a 9-page survey regarding health. My thesis will discuss this process and refugees. My thesis director is Dr. Lara Ferry and my second committee member is Dr. Erin Sellner.
