New open access book:
Critical Perspectives on Refugee and Migrant Integration in Education: Grassroots Narratives from Multiregional Settings (Bloomsbury Academic, Nov. 2024) [open access]
- "This open-access book offers a critical appraisal, at the cross-section of theory and practice, of concepts of integration at work in education in diverse geopolitical settings. With chapters written by experts based in Cyprus, Ethiopia, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan, the UK and the USA, the book includes discussion of regions of conflict, post-conflict and also non-conflict societies in which a cultural hegemony has developed strategies to 'integrate' groups perceived as 'other'. The book challenges the idea of 'integration' in education considering how it relates to inclusion and exclusion and considers the extent to which integration can be empirically studied or evaluated. By accommodating a diversity of voices and perspectives, the structure of this book critically questions the underlying hegemonic Global North-shaped assumptions that have informed the integration debate."
Resource:
World Migration Education Toolkit (IOM, 2024) [access]
- "The World Migration Education Toolkit is an up-to-date set of resources for educators to teach about migration, migrants and human geography. It draws upon the extensive research and analysis in the World Migration Report series to deliver specialized tools and resources. Divided into two parts, part one addresses the foundational questions in migration studies. Part two explores a range of thematic topics in migration across several modules. The modules are tailored to and accessible for a secondary-level human geography course."
