Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As a result of conflict or persecution, huge waves of refugees are reshaping the political, economic and cultural and educational landscapes of the world (Banks, 2017; Dryden-Peterson, 2017). To contribute to educational research, we seek to explore the role of leadership in education in various countries to meet the needs of migrants and refugees, and to examine these practices as both educational issues and as issues of equity, justice and human rights through this symposia. Therefore, researchers from Canada, USA, Australia and the Middle East will present and discuss their findings dealing with different schools contexts hosting refugee students in terms of leadership, policy and practice. We hope to fertilize a discussion through different cultural and theoretical approaches.
