One Million Neighbors w/ Dr. Melissa Borja
One Million Neighbors is a limited podcast series about how American faith communities mobilized to do the impossible: resettling more than a million Southeast Asian refugees, in the face of widespread hostility toward migrants. Dr. Melissa Borja is Associate Professor of American Culture and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies at the University of Michigan. Trained at Harvard, the University of Chicago, and Columbia, she is a historian of migration, religion, race, and politics and author of Follow the New Way: American Refugee Resettlement Policy and Hmong Religious Change (Harvard University Press), which won the Thomas Wilson Memorial Prize and the Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize from the American Society of Church History. Dr. Borja advised Princeton's Religion and Forced Migration Initiative, is the lead investigator of the Virulent Hate Project, contributed research to Stop AAPI Hate, and for her research and advocacy on anti-Asian racism during the Covid-19 pandemic, USA Today honored her as one of its 2022 Women of the Year.
