Displacing Universities – Refugee Voices For Higher Education In Europe
Displacing Universities – Refugee Voices For Higher Education In Europe (Displacing-Unis) Is A Critical Ethnographic Study Into University Initiatives For Displaced People. The Project Interrogates Differing Approaches To Refugee Higher Education (He) Amongst Students, Alumni, Teachers, And Admin Staff Across Multiple Scales In A Historically-Sensitive Manner, Embedding The Analysis Relationally To Changes In He, Civil Society/Activist Practices, And European And Local Policies. The Research Will Be Undertaken With The Hope Of Improving The Workings Of Refugee Education Initiatives (E.G. In Their Focus, Scope, Aims, Pedagogies, Intersectional Awareness), University Practices More Broadly (E.G. In Recognition Of Prior Learning For Admissions, Trauma Informed Teaching) And He’S Wider Response To Displacement And Learning (E.G. With Education As A Means Of Mobility And Social Justice For Marginalised Learners). Aside From Scholarly And Public-Facing Outputs (I.E. Articles, A Book Proposal, Audio Documentaries, Podcasts), The Project Will Include Specific Recommendations For Existing Initiatives And Produce An Eu-Level Policy Paper On The Role Of Initiatives For Displaced Learners~ Access And Success In He. This Will Be Reworked Into Locally Specific Toolkits For He Practitioners And Policy Makers. Data Will Be Gathered On Both A Global Level, Via A Collaborative Podcasting-As-Research Method, And Through Three Case Studies In Dublin, Budapest And Barcelona, Including Via Participant Observation, Interviews, Curriculum Analysis And Participatory Audio Documentary Production. I Am An Anthropologist And Refugee Education Practitioner, And Will Use The Fellowship To Build On My Experience To Develop Expertise In Both Refugee And Higher Education Studies, As Well As Know-How In Cutting Edge Participatory Methods And Effective Policy Intervention.
