September 17, 2017
In her poignant talk Jess explores the privilege of home and introduces us to people who have been forced to leave theirs with little hope of ever returning. With stories of people she has met through working with migrant communities in the UK and abroad, Jess reminds us that today, perhaps more than ever before, those who can leave and come back need to be more mindful of those who cannot.
