Hello,
My name is Debbie Panek, and I'm a social work/public
health student at Columbia University, New York. I'm
doing some research for a class (the Psychosocial
Impact of Forced Migration) and have struggled to find
information.
I'm looking at the response of faith communities to
forced migration, whether formally through
parishes/church institutions or less structured
entities refugees and IDPs have found psychosocial
support. Ideally, I'd love to narrow it to Latin
America and even more specifically to Colombia, but
I'm not sure if there's enough published information
to do that. I've seen a couple references made to the
base communities based in liberation theology, but
have been unable to track those to broader studies. I
am contacting Jesuit Refugee Services as well (and
will be working with them in Colombia this summer),
but am looking now in all possible directions.
I am unfortunately down to my last few weeks with this
paper, so time is of the essence. I apologize, my
procrastination skills got the best of me and I kept
assuming I would find more. Perhaps it's now
appropriate that I write on the anniv. of Bishop
Gerardi's assassination. Any suggestions you can offer
will be most gratefully accepted.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Paz,
Debbie
