EXPERT ALERTS:

Trump Administration's Immigration Policy
Michelle Johnson-Motoyama
Professor, Social Welfare
University of Kansas
Johnson-Motoyama can discuss the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy that separates children from parents at the border and the traumatic, lifelong negative consequences it has on children, as well as the child welfare system: "The zero-tolerance policy is a cruel and immoral human rights violation that uses children as pawns in the larger U.S. immigration debate. A large body of research demonstrates the deleterious cognitive and biological impacts that such trauma has on separated children in both the short and long term. The Trump administration has now heard about this research yet continues to engage in these crimes against humanity. These abhorrent practices of separating children from their parents indefinitely and placing them in abysmal conditions must end now. Separated children need to be reunified with their parents immediately to stop further suffering and damage."

Trump's Zero-Tolerance Immigration Policy
Alice Lieberman
Professor, Social Welfare
University of Kansas
Alice Lieberman can discuss the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy that separates children from parents at the border and the traumatic, lifelong negative consequences it has on children, as well as the child welfare system: "A foundational part of our research focuses on the how best to intervene with children with ACES, or adverse child experiences. We know that these kinds of adverse childhood experiences literally change a child's brain, changes the chemistry of the brain and the way it transmits messages around flight-or-flight and that kids who have been subjected to this kind of trauma will find themselves in a perpetual state of flight, which will trouble them the rest of their lives. There is a real, serious lifelong impact as a result of this kind of traumatic experience."

Preserving Centuries-Old Art and Architecture
David Sheppe
Program Leader
American Friends for the Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés
"One of the things Americans love most about visiting Europe is the feeling of being transported back in time as they explore seemingly ancient architecture and history. Preserving the remarkable and diverse art and architecture from centuries ago allows future generations to continue benefiting from this uniquely transformative experience."
Sheppe has enjoyed a long career in international banking and now works as a financial and risk management consultant. It was while living in Paris in the 1980s that he first took an interest in the church of Saint Germain des Prés, and he has been a frequent visitor ever since. From 2013 to 2016, he was once again a Paris resident, and it was then that he became acquainted with the work of the "Fonds de Dotation," the Paris-based fundraising arm for renovating the church. Following his return to the U.S. in 2016, Sheppe did volunteer work for the US-based American Friends for the Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés, before joining its Board in 2017. He is now leading the charge on the current Adopt A Saint Germain Star Campaign in the United States. Sheppe is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Cornell University. He resides in southwest Connecticut.
