Interviewing Mr. Al’Rubaye.

Name: Hudson Kassen

Social Justice Group: Refugees

Date of Fieldwork: December 6, 2017

Name of Organization:

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Ahmed Al’Rubaye

Type of Fieldwork: Interview

What I did:

We did an interview over Skype with a refugee who came to America from Iraq via Cairo.

What I learned:

I learned that when a refugee comes to America they are allowed to travel with their family. I learned that to gain refugee status there are two criteria. The first criterium is that you fled your country of origin, the second being that it is not safe to return.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

I learned that often if somebody does something good for someone that person often wants to pay it forward.

Hudson

My name is Hudson. I am interested in the topic of refugees because it's a problem that is very relevant right now. This topic is important because with Donald Trump in office the USA is taking in very few refugees.
