Inclusion and Membership in Refugee Education? Tensions between Policy and Practice
This book chapter by Sarah Dryden-Peterson exposes the tensions between the stability that a model of including refugees in national education systems seeks to create and the precarious situations that it can create in schools and classrooms.
Published in Marcelo Suárez-Orozco’s book, Humanitarianism and Mass Migration: Confronting the World Crisis (2019), Dryden-Peterson shows how refugees’ daily experiences in classrooms place them outside of current membership in society civically, politically, socially, and culturally, and identifies ways in which the structures and content of education intersect through teachers to create, or stymie, the opportunities of education.
