Becoming in the Margins: Refugee Education, Gender, and Human Flourishing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798293335800)

Becoming in the Margins: Refugee Education, Gender, and Human Flourishing explores how education can serve as a transformative space for refugee youth navigating displacement, legal precarity, and gendered constraints. Drawing on the Capabilities Approach and informed by feminist and decolonial perspectives, the book examines the lived experiences of learners and educators at the Bangkok Refugee Centre.
Through a blend of qualitative research, life histories, and grounded analysis, the book challenges conventional narratives of refugee education. It shifts the focus from access and attainment to the deeper question of what learners are genuinely able to do and become. The voices of refugee youth are central throughout, offering insight into how education can foster dignity, agency, and the possibility of flourishing, even in contexts of profound uncertainty.
This book is intended for educators, researchers, and practitioners working in refugee education, international development, and gender equity. It offers a framework for rethinking educational practice in ways that are inclusive, justice-oriented, and responsive to the realities of those at the margins.
