I attended and organized a session at the SfAA in 2007 and will do the same this year in Memphis. While I do research mainly on Native Americans (especially Navajo) resettlement and development, the session I organize include presentations about resettlement in Asia, Africa, Europe, etc.
Happy Hanukka,

Hope all is well in Israel (I'm originally from Haifa). FYI - I regularly organize sessions for the SfAA on resettlement/migration issues. Let me know if you wish to be included in future sessions. Next year the SfAA will be in my home town of Santa Fe, new Mexico...
