About this Event
1640 Cumberland Ave., Knoxville, TN 37996
The Baker Cafe Series is an informal discussion about various topics. Guests are encouraged to ask questions that pertain to the topic and gain insight straight from the experts. We even provide refreshments!
Join Drs. Matt Buehler and Kyung Joon Han as they discuss the results of a recent survey that explore the sources of opposition to migrants in the Middle East. Comparing their study to recent ones conducted in Western Europe, they find that factors related to economics and security provoke xenophobia toward migrants more than cultural factors, such as differences related to culture or religion. These trends seem especially true when examining opposition to sub Saharan African migrants in the Middle East.
This event is free and open to the public. Guests may park in the Vol Hall Garage on White Avenue at no charge by requesting a parking voucher from Baker Center staff at the event.
