About this Event
We will be joined by a guest speaker, Salma Almidani. Salma Almidani is a PhD student and researcher focusing on migration, conflict, and health. Born and raised in Syria, her lived experience of displacement is what drove her to shed light on the experiences of those affected by displacement and its intersections with health. Beyond academia, she is passionate about supporting Syria’s rebuilding efforts, focusing on capacity building through mentorship and collaboration
The Syrian Dandelion is a novel about a London-based doctor, Shamil, who must return to war-torn Syria to protect his family. The story explores his journey of survival, dealing with the guilt of his past, and navigating fractured relationships with his estranged wife and son amidst the chaos of conflict. This event will offer attendees an opportunity to learn from Salma while also engaging in meaningful conversation as a group - diving deeper into insighful thoughts and opinions around the book: The Syrian Dandelion by Thaier Hashem Alhusain.
