New Report on How Fear and Toxic Stress Affect Immigrant Families

20/12/2017

With new restrictions on immigration and a rise in immigration enforcement by the Trump administration, immigrant families in the U.S. have experienced a shift in the political and social climate within the past year.

A new report by the Kaiser Family Foundation examines how these changes have impacted families in California and across the nation. The report, which draws on focus groups with immigrant families and interviews with paediatricians, found that immigrants from a range of backgrounds report "rising fear and anxiety that is affecting their daily lives and well-being as well as the health of their children, which are predominantly U.S.-born citizens."

A New Language Emerges in the Lesvos Refugee Camp

4/12/2017

0 Comments

 
On the small Greek Island of Lesvos, a new version of the English language can be overheard in the detention centre at Moria. It is here where English is going through an "accelerated development", with its own distinct grammar and idiom emerging.

 "
One striking change is the systematic simplification of vocabulary.Words are added as well as stripped away. Words tend to be used in their simplest possible form: I am sleep to Moria."

The
Lesvos English showcases the extraordinary ways that people adjust and communicate as they try to survive a humanitarian emergency.
