Welcome!

My name is Marina Lazetic and I am a researcher and writer living between Boston, Belgrade, and Sarajevo.

​

I am the Director of Programs at the Center on Forced Displacement at Boston University and a Ph.D. candidate at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. My main research interests revolve around environmental displacement, community organizing, border regimes and anti-immigrant movements.

 

As part of my dissertation, I am primarily looking at how communities impacted by climate change and disasters make decisions to stay in disaster prone areas and how they organize to mobilize resources and resilience.

 

Through my work with colleagues in the Balkans and the US, I also engage in projects and research related to anti-immigrant movements and border management. 

​

This website presents my academic work as well as personal reflections about nationalism, displacement, borders, and collective trauma and healing.
