Blair Sackett is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. In a period of rising forced migration, due to war and political upheaval as well as climate change, her research focuses on refugees and the institutional barriers and opportunities they face in accessing rights and resources. She is the author of We Thought It Would Be Heaven: Refugees in an Unequal America with Annette Lareau. This book illuminates how the very social service organizations meant to help refugee families can end up halting their access to valuable resources through a bewildering array of opaque rules, inflexible deadlines, and seemingly small mistakes. Her second book project follows refugee families in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya to highlight the economic costs of long-term displacement.
