‘Police searched my baby’s nappy’: migrant families on the perilous Balkan route
“Out of a total of about 8,000 migrants in Bosnia, about 2,000 people are basically left to fend for themselves in abandoned buildings, squats, makeshift settlements and in forests,” Nicola Bay, the Danish Refugee Council’s Bosnia director, says. “These people include families, children and unaccompanied minors that have practically no shelter, no access to basic services and no access to proper healthcare.”

Wives and children of ISIS
Working with GLST 490 student on refugee and immigrants topic:
Possible topic:
The state of wives and children of ISIS fighters reflected in the media and social media (or something in that direction)
Possible assumption: their real condition is reported widely differently, mainly because of political and ideological gains.
You may want to find out some influential theories/practices by social workers engaged with refugees and juxtapose those practices theories with the materials provided by traditional and social media.

Khmer Rouge genocide

(Episode TW: Genocide violence, hunger, and PTSD) (S4, EP 2). Khmer-American author Loung Ung joined me for this episode of The Banh Mi Chronicles Podcast. She is best known for her international best-seller First, They Killed My Father. She recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut book which chronicled her survival as a young child during the Khmer Rouge genocide. This book would later be turned into a Netflix film in 2017 that Angelina Jolie directed. Loung shared her reflections writing this book, and how this has aided in her healing from her trauma from the genocide, and her relationship with Cambodia since the book. She reminisced on her time working with Angelina and her son Maddox on the film, and their friendship together. You can follow Loung’s work at https://www.loungung.com and her Twitter @UngLoung
