Refugee trajectories, mobility, aspirations, and political constraints
Wed, April 1, 1:15 to 2:30pm, Hilton, Floor: Fourth Floor - Tower 3, Union Square 5&6Group Submission Type: Paper Session
Description of Session
Centering youth and family perspectives, this panel explores how refugees and internally displaced persons navigate education and socio-cultural continuity under conditions of displacement. The papers examine refugee youth’s socio-economic realities in Uganda, cultural education among IDPs in Georgia, family strategies in U.S. resettlement contexts, and return aspirations among Syrian refugees in neighboring host countries. Together, they illuminate how education mediates intergenerational aspirations, identity, and imagined futures amid political uncertainty.
