Every year, thousands of refugees call the United States their new home. Refugees can face many misconceptions in their new country including those about the difference between immigrants and refugees. Researchers with the Refugee Integration Project at the University of Missouri-St. Louis spent 12 months documenting these sorts of critical shifts, moments, and experiences of resettlement. Built on the stories that emerged, the research-based play, “We Came As Refugees: An American Story,” and supporting educational tools are now available to help students and adults better understand the challenges refugees face.
