Refugees, traditionally confined to large camps, are increasingly dispersing into large urban centers in search of autonomy and better lives. As the urban refugee community grows, the often-neglected durable solution of local integration as a viable option for these refugees has re-emerged. But measuring local integration as a goal and/or proxy for stability and improved welfare has remained understudied. This project developed a scale to measure integration of urban refugees in Nairobi, Kenya among the local host population.

Professor Eleni Papalexiou at the University of the Peloponnese and I are collaborating to develop a summer institute in the Argolid, "Ancient Tragedies/Modern Stages," exploring contemporary approaches to staging Greek tragedy. A combination of workshops, lectures, classes, and performances will provide participants with an up-to-date understanding of how our oldest theatrical form, Greek tragedy, continues to challenge contemporary theater artists and audiences in the 21st century.
