Call for Chapter Proposals: Educating Refugee-Background Students: Critical Issues and Dynamic Contexts
Editors: Shawna Shapiro, Raichle Farrelly, and Mary Jane Curry
Publisher: Multilingual Matters

Overview:
This collection will offer an in-depth exploration of key issues in the education of adolescents and adults with refugee backgrounds who have been resettled in the main refugee receiving areas of North America, Australia, and Europe. Until recently, educational researchers have devoted little attention to refugee-background students, despite the high numbers of refugees living in these areas. Although research on other immigrant groups sometimes references refugees and/or asylum-seekers, much of that literature fails to take into account the particular educational backgrounds, migration experiences, and identity preferences of this population (McBrien, 2005). Hence, this volume will address geographic and thematic gaps in existing educational research.

Proposals of 750-1000 words that detail the proposed chapter’s data sources, main argument, theoretical framework and research methodology and follow APA guidelines will be accepted until October 15, 2015.
