Martin Rosenbluth, a North Carolina-based immigration rights attorney, will give a talk titled Refugees in Crisis: From Texas to Turkey at 4:00 pm on Oct. 27th at UNC Asheville’s Karpen Hall, in the Laurel Forum.
This is a free event, open to everyone.
Rosenbluth has begun working pro-bono as a legal advisor and training coordinator for the U.S.-based nonprofit Advocates Abroad and recently took trips to Texas and Europe to provide legal assistance for immigrants. He spent a month on the Texas-Mexico border working with refugees from Latin America, and six weeks in Lesbos, Greece working with refugees from Syria and elsewhere.
Rosenbluth’s talk is sponsored by the university’s Department of Political Science, the Political Science Club, and Belk Distinguished Professor Mark Gibney. For more information, contact Gibney at [email protected] or 828.250.3870.
