The focus is not only on refugee education as an issue of access and equity, but also on this phenomenon as seen through the lens of internationalization. What competencies are called for among university faculty and staff welcoming refugee-background students to their institutional contexts? How might “distance learning” be considered anew? These challenges and opportunities for institutional growth will be closely considered by this group of authors from educational leadership, social work, curriculum development, and higher education itself. They address key world regions, and sub-topics ranging from online education in refugee camps to the Brazilian and Colombian responses to the emerging crisis in Venezuela. Scholars researching refugee education cross-nationally often find that refugee education literature is parsed by disciplinary field. This book, in contrast, offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary overview of refugee education issues around the world. These perspectives also provide key insights for faculty and staff at higher education institutions that currently enroll asylees or refugees, as well as those that may do so in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries Preface   Hans de Wit, Philip Altbach and Rebecca Schendel  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Part 1: Framing the Landscape  1 Refugees and Higher Education: Trans-national Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Internationalization   Hans de Wit, Tessa DeLaquil, Hakan Ergin, Araz Khajarian and Lisa Unangst  2 Refugee Higher Education in Contexts of Displacement: Educational Approaches and Programmatic Initiatives   Thomas M.
