Book Talk | Unwelcome Shores: Black Refugees in America (RESCHEDULED) Join us online on March 11 for a book talk with author Bernadette Ludwig! The discussion will be moderated by Alex Aleinikoff, in conversation with Alexandra Delano.Unwelcome Shores is an ethnographic study of the Liberian refugee community in Staten Island, New York, home to the largest per capita concentration of Liberians in the U.S., that sheds light on the racialization of Black refugees and the racism they have experienced at every step of their migration journey. In this pioneering study, sociologist Bernadette Ludwig explores how Liberians have responded to such racist exclusions, noting how members of this community reject the informal refugee label once they are resettled in the United States. Liberian migrants often view the label as a liability since the larger general public, the media, and the U.S. government tend to regard Black refugees as an economic and social burden unworthy of assistance. Indeed, Black refugees’ humanity is often ignored, Ludwig contends, in favor of overemphasizing presumed barbaric violence, endemic wars, cultural backwardness, and diseases.By detailing the lack of aid and support for Black refugees and describing how Liberian refugees in particular have had to overcome various struggles and barriers in coming to the U.S. and while living here, Unwelcome Shores highlights the overarching role of race and anti-Black racism in American society.

Online talk Weds March 11 12 -1:30 PM EDT author Bernadette Ludwig.

Jules Boykoff on Politics at the 2026 Winter Olympics As the winter Olympics come to a close, a number of athletes have drawn controversy for their political statements. U.S. athletes, in particular, have expressed conflicting feelings about representing the United States during the current political moment. We speak with former athlete Jules Boykoff, who has written extensively on the Olympic games, about how politics intersect with the Games. “The Trump administration has politicized these Olympics from the very beginning,” he says.

Jules Boycoff, author of "Activism and the Olympics," appeared on "Democracy Now" following his op-ed in the Canadian national newspaper, "The Globe and Mail."
