Political violence, civil unrest, economic crises, and natural disasters have occurred at a constant pace, leading to an ongoing global crisis of refugees and other forced immigrants and migrants, i.e. (im)migrants. The infrastructures, capacities, and policies necessary to address the needs of refugee youth, their families, and their communities are strained in host countries and receiving communities worldwide. Education for Refugees and Forced (Im)Migrants Across Time and Context follows the journey of refugee and forced (im)migrant youths as their educational needs and opportunities vary according to resettlement communities’ immigration policies, dominant culture and language, geography, and other key factors.
There is little research around the transition from peri- to post-migration education of refugee youth across time and context. Chapter authors address that gap by examining the conditions of refugee youth across different types of refugee contexts, including violence/conflict, natural disaster, economic crisis, political oppression, and how educational expectations, opportunities, and experiences shift before, during, and after the forced (im)migration journey.
This important collection analyzes the complex combination of frameworks, drivers, and characteristics of education for refugee and forced (im)migrant youth to inform education policy, practice, and research.
