• Resilient Learners (2026) · doi

  As in any study, ours is not without limitations. Although our findings indicate several common aspects in the experiences of young adult Syrian refugees in AE centres in Que- bec, they do not distinguish the experiences of students with disruptive education from those whose education was uninterrupted, nor does it compare the trajectories of male and female youth. Such examinations have the potential to further identify the supports young adult refugee students need to achieve their educational goals and thrive.

• Doomed to fail? A qualitative exploration of teachers’ perspectives on refugee students’ access to education and educational experiences in Greece (2025) · doi

• Social Emotional Learning with Refugees in East Africa (2023) · doi

  While further research into this area of inquiry is needed and proposed, these study findings provide a stronger understanding of the refugee education landscape in East Africa and its current insufficiencies through the example of SEL, and serve to inform other topical EiE interventions and the broader uptake of SEL by education systems globally.
