Traumatized Home and Away: Toward a Framework for Interrogating Policy-Practice Disjunctures for Refugee Students in Higher Education
Maringe, Felix; Ojo, Emmanuel; Chiramba, Otilia
European Education, v49 n4 p210-230 2017
This article argues that there are disjunctures between theory and practice related to the integration of refugee students in higher education. Using a theoretical approach, the article explores policy and approaches to refugee integration and identifies the causes of the theory-practice disjunctures. It suggests a framework that other researchers and practitioners can utilize to try to narrow the gap existing between what policy permits and what practice evidences.
