Boston College, 2025
This luncheon highlights two passionate voices in Boston directly involved with migration work: Debbie Gotbetter, a board member of Jewish Family Services of MetroWest, and Ed Marakovitz, the coordinator of the Paulist Center's Immigration Advocacy Group. They will draw from their experience supporting immigrants and refugees through their organizations to speak on the topic of migration work in the Boston area, especially within a faith-based context. Moderated by undergraduate student Owen Fletcher, this conversation will help contextualize the care and advocacy for immigrants and refugees in the greater Boston area, asking the question "what makes the Boston case specific?" Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the discussion, exploring the similarities and differences in the organizations.
