List of Questions to be Addressed by the Symposium
A number of questions, including (but not limited to) the following are raised as the guiding threads for this symposium:
• How can education help in preparing people subjected to forced migration?
• How can children experiencing forced migration be provided viable options for education during transitions?
• How do migrants’ complex, intersectional identities and objective conditions affect their migration experiences?
• What are the dimensions of comparative education that can be put to use for the benefit of migrants?
• Which regions, countries and communities in the world are exemplars for researching the comparative aspects of education for migrants?
• How can comparative education help promote the values of shared humanity so as to avoid forced migration?
The agenda of this symposium is to have collective deliberations on the various facets of the migration challenge and explore how comparative education may offer pragmatic solutions to some of them, especially pertaining to children. However, traditional topics in comparative education are also welcome.
