Behind the Pages, the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies, features exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. In this episode, Sarah Horsch Carsley and Garnett Russell discuss how political will, the availability of resources in refugee-receiving countries, and weak formal enforcement mechanisms create a gap between the spirit of the three international treaties that guarantee refugees’ legal right to education and refugees’ actual access to school. In their article “Exploring the Enforceability of Refugees’ Right to Education: A Comparative Analysis of Human Rights Treaties,” Horsch Carsley and Russell find that treaties that focus on cultural, economic, and social rights, including the right to education, are less enforceable overall than treaties that secure political and civil rights.

In their article “Are Refugee Children Learning? Early Grade Literacy in a Refugee Camp in Kenya,” Piper, Dryden-Peterson, and co-authors Vidur Chopra, Celia Reddick, and Arbogast Oyanga show that for students in Grades 1 through 3 in Kakuma refugee camp, learning to read is related, in part, to their country of origin, mother tongue, and expectations for returning to their home country.

Behind the Pages, the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies, features exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict.

Since 2016, the Syria refugee crisis has spurred massive investment in education initiatives from the private sector, especially by corporations and their philanthropic arms. In their article “The Emerging Role of Corporate Actors as Policymakers in Education in Emergencies: Evidence from the Syria Refugee Crisis,” Zakharia and co-author Francine Menashy show that while corporate involvement has brought an influx in attention and resources to refugee learners, corporate influence has filtered up to the policy level as well.

This is an episode of Behind the Pages - the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies. Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. Since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, more than 6 million Syrians have been forced to seek refuge outside their home country. Half of those displaced are children. The influx puts a strain on neighboring countries’ national education systems and especially strains educators who work to provide stable and effective learning environments. In her article, “When the Personal Becomes the Professional: Exploring the Lived Experiences of Syrian Refugee Educators,” Elizabeth Adelman finds that refugee educators share many of the same social barriers and traumatic experiences as their students. However, these educators’ professional duty to their students frequently calls on them to develop strategies to persist and mask their own hardship in the classroom.

This is an episode of Behind the Pages - the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies. Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. Between 1947 and 1949, the Arab-Israeli conflict displaced approximately 800,000 Palestinians into Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and into what today are the West Bank and Gaza. The American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization based in Philadelphia, was among the first to establish schools for these refugees, in many ways shaping the trajectory of the United Nations agency that is now responsible for providing education to Palestinian refugees. In her article, "'Incredibly Difficult, Tragically Needed, and Absorbingly Interesting': Lessons from the AFSC School Program for Palestinian Refugees in Gaza, 1949 to 1950," Jo Kelcey draws on archival records from the AFSC and the UN and argues for a critical historical assessment of how refugee education programs align with humanitarian principles.

Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. Emergency relief prioritizes basic survival needs like food, water, medical aid, sanitation, and shelter. But increasingly some humanitarians have begun to think of education not only as capable of improving lives, but indeed as lifesaving. In "Asking 'Why' and 'How': A Historical Turn in Refugee Education Research” Christine Monaghan identifies key shifts in the motivation behind refugee education through the lens of a historical perspective. Drawing from oral histories, interviews, and archival research, Monaghan constructs a narrative of “why” and “how” refugee education programming has become a form of immediate emergency response.

This is an episode of Behind the Pages - the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies. Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. In Ecuador, a policy of universal access to education gives Colombian refugees residing there the right to enroll in public schools – a rare opportunity for refugees to access formal education in a host state. However, refugees’ lived experience of this policy is often far different than the letter of the law would suggest. In her article, “Bureaucratic Encounters and the Quest for Educational Access among Colombian Refugees in Ecuador” Diana Rodríguez-Gómez discusses how the promise of universal access is shaped by the interactions between bureaucrats and the refugee families seeking education, between layers of government administration, and many other factors.
