Displacement as Condition: A Refugee, a Farmer and the Teleology of Life

Published in Ethnos, 2020

The focus on migration ‘crisis’ in recent years has reinforced tropes of displacement as a concept that refers to involuntary movement, foreclosing the possibility of thinking through displacement in relation to the politicisation of place more broadly.

Time and the other in crisis: How anthropology makes its displaced object

Published in Anthropological Theory, 2019

Drawing on research conducted with people in both refugee and non-refugee contexts, in this article I put forward a more expansive theorisation of displacement as a sense of temporal dispossession.

Higher education and students from refugee backgrounds: A meta-scoping study

Published in Refugee Survey Quarterly, 2019

Empirical interest in exploring the settlement experiences of people from refugee backgrounds has long been an area of research interest and advocacy. In particular, there has been significant growth in research that focuses on students from refugee backgrounds as they navigate the education systems of these settlement contexts, with a particular focus on refugee children and youth in schooling contexts. Less is known about the experiences of students from refugee backgrounds in higher education. This article speaks to this gap in our collective knowledge, offering a meta-scoping study of 46 papers on students from refugee backgrounds in international higher education contexts.
