About once a week, Kelsey Norman plops into a chair at her kitchen table in Los Angeles,
fires up Skype and dials Asalah Razzouk, a refugee living in the mountains of Lebanon.
… “This is a way for me to continue speaking with someone,” said Norman, a [UCI] Ph.D.
student studying migration and citizenship, who’s been learning Arabic for the last
few years. “Also, I spent a lot of time in the past two years interviewing refugees
and migrants, and I know how difficult it is to find work.”
