"Higher Education in the Era of Migration, Displacement, and Internationalization is an important and comprehensive contribution to the analysis of the role of higher education in relation to immigrants and refugees, one of the key dimensions of internationalization of our societies and its education." Hans de Wit, Distinguished Fellow and Professor Emeritus, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College, USA "This book competently unravels the complexity of refugee access to and participation in higher education. By situating the theme in the broader context of migration and internationalization, the reader gains in-depth insight in initiatives at the state and institutional levels as well as individual experiences and reflections of refugees and educators. It not only offers important academic food for thought, but also delineates clear imperatives for policy-makers and higher education leadership." Jeroen Huisman, Centre for Higher Education Governance Ghent (CHEGG), Editor ‘Higher Education Policy’, Professor, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, Belgium"In our unprecedented era of global migration, higher education for refugees is an increasingly pressing issue for policy-makers and educators. Barriers to higher education raise important issues of equity that transcend national boundaries. This book is well timed to highlight how education can facilitate greater inclusion for those marginalized by violence, war, poverty, and oppression." Thomas M. Crea, Professor, Chair of Global Practice and Assistant Dean of Global Programs, Boston College School of Social Work, USA"Globally millions of people are displaced due to political unrest. The experience of the people who are displaced cannot be imagined. Some have lost everything. There is an urgent need for world leaders to establish and sustain peace. The book is an important contribution to the scholarship on policy and changes required to improve social, economic and health and well-being of people."Mahsood Shah, Professor and Dean, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia "Higher Education in the Era of Migration, Displacement, and Internationalizationis one of the pioneering books on the role of higher education for the displaced/refugee/migrant student populations. Internationalization in our challenging era needs to be redefined to meet the diversified students’ needs, and this book gives all related insights."
