Come celebrate the publication of The Routledge Handbook of Refugee Narratives (2023), co-edited by Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi (UCLA) and Vinh Nguyen (Renison University College, University of Waterloo). The book includes chapters by three CMS faculty affiliates: Erin Goheen Glanville, Elif Sari, and the late Y-Dang Troeung.
This open-access Handbook presents a transnational and interdisciplinary study of refugee narratives, broadly defined. Interrogating who can be considered a refugee and what constitutes a narrative, the thirty-eight chapters included in this collection encompass a range of forcibly displaced subjects, a mix of geographical and historical contexts, and a variety of storytelling modalities.
The book launch will feature presentations from six of the volume’s authors: Erin Goheen Glanville, Elif Sari, Christopher Patterson for Y-Dang Troeung, Bishupal Limbu, Roopika Risam, and Asha Varadharajan. They will be introduced by co-editors Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi and Vinh Nguyen.
We hope you’ll join us! Light refreshments will be provided; kindly RSVP by April 11.
