Episode 10: The role of civil society in protecting displaced populations - Beth Ferris

Showing UP with Lynsey Dyer

Beth is a lifelong humanitarian and is a senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. In addition Beth is an adjunct associate professor in Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. She is also a commissioner of the Women's Refugee Commission. I’m big mountain skier and adventurer Lynsey dyer and this is the showing up podcast. I started these conversations to reconnect with real humans again in the spirit of progress over perfection and to inspire the unicorn in you to show up for yourself, confront the unknown, and expand into flow. I had the chance to sit down with Beth in Telluride at the Mountain Film Festival. Our conversations ranges from her start in Humanitarian work to Environmental Disasters which displace people all over the world. From Draught to Sea levels rising and their impacts on communities, Beth is on the forefront of trying to get Government agencies to be prepared for these disasters and finding future solutions. I am honored to have gotten to sit down her and truly inspired. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
