Being a Migrant Academic. The Empowering Role of the Silent University
Bridget Fonkeu |
TEDxMünster
• October 2019
Some people seem invisible. This is the case with many migrants who work in poorly paid jobs, even if they’re in fact highly qualified. Bridget Fonkeu tells us her powerful personal story, the story of an academic refugee who cleaned school and hospital corridors for years. With the help of the Silent University, she re-gained the energy and the confidence to live to her full potential and now teaches at Dortmund Technical University.
