Rooted in Care: Imagining Inclusive and Sustainable Educational Futures for Refugees

Thu, April 9, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 301B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium examines how education can “unforget” the histories of displacement, trauma, and systemic marginalization that refugee learners carry, while also imagining caring futures grounded in equity. Six papers drawing on a variety of theoretical frameworks and methodologies collectively call for actions that reflect a deep commitment to equity and justice and highlight practical steps that stakeholders can take to move toward more inclusive and caring educational systems. Sustainable equity in education cannot be reached without acknowledging the whole learner – their histories, identities, languages, and aspirations. By centering care as both a philosophy and a practice, we offer a vision of what compassionate, equity-driven, and sustainable education can look like for refugee students around the world.
