Judith Owens-Manley, associate director for community research, presented a poster titled "Surviving or Thriving: Adaptation of Bosnian Refugees in Upstate New York" at the 8th Annual Conference of the Society for Social Work and Research from January 16-18. In her research, Owens-Manley studied 20 Bosnian refugee families in Utica, NY, to determine how well these refugees had adapted in three areas: economic, psychological, and socio-cultural. The conference, which this year had the theme "Using Diverse Methods to Build Knowledge," was held in New Orleans.
