Leonard Hammer, University of Arizona May 13, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Leonard Hammer, University of Arizona and Saleh Ahmed, Boise State University (THE CONVERSATION) While it may seem that much of the world has been locked down during the past pandemic year, more than 80 million people are currently on the move – unwillingly.

These impacts make host countries less willing to receive more refugees.
