EP 20: #WEGLOBAL | Dr. Deborah Robinson on the African Americans Living Abroad Project
In this episode, Dr. Deborah Robinson speaks about her project #WEGLOBAL, which investigates African Americans living abroad. You can access the survey here: https://www.aalivingabroad.org/
According to the website:
African Americans have traveled globally and lived abroad for centuries, but only part of their story has been told. There have been ebbs and flows of this voluntary movement, but we are currently witnessing an unprecedented level of travel and expatriation. While there is a growing literature on Americans abroad and some research on African Americans who lived abroad historically, there is sparse data on African Americans currently living overseas. There is a need for a comprehensive, scientific study of this unprecedented migration. In addition, it is important to disseminate the findings from this research in ways that reach a broad audience. That's where WeGlobal comes in.
If YOU are an African American currently living abroad, please contribute 15 minutes to completing this survey! Feel free to pass this survey along to other African Americans living abroad as well. It is available until December 2019.
