DESCRIPTION:Dr. Martha Ferede\nHarvard University\n“More than Winning the L
 ottery” Refugee youth’s Academic Integration in Canadian Universities\nWha
 t if there was a model of integrating refugees into a host country that al
 so provided higher education access and social support? Since 1978\, World
  University Service of Canada (WUSC)\, an Ottawa-based international devel
 opment organization\, has sponsored 1\,355 refugee youth from the asylum c
 ountries of Kenya\, Thailand\, Syria\, and Malawi and placed them directly
  into 61 of the nations university and college campuses. As much as resett
 lement into Canada and entry into university is a substantial improvement 
 from a harsh refugee existence\, this new life whereby refugee youth are t
 hrust into demanding academic programs within weeks of arrival is not with
 out its challenges. This talk will focus on research findings on the acade
 mic integration of 24 refugee youth resettled from 2007-2011: their experi
 ences\, motivations for course selection\, trajectories\, challenges\, and
  the resources they employ to manage them.\nMartha K. Ferede is a mixed-me
 thods researcher and consultant who specializes in international higher ed
 ucation policy and the mobility/integration of students and faculty. She r
 ecently completed her doctorate from Harvard University.\n\nFor more upcom
 ing talks\, please visit the Learning Sciences Brown Bag Talks page.
