Refugee-Inspired Ethical Guidelines from Kakuma
Scholarship addressing research ethics with forcibly displaced communities has gained heightened attention in the recent past. While critical, this scholarship has remained largely theoretical and has not included the voices of those who face forced displacement. This manuscript contributes to a more comprehensive discussion on ethical research with refugees and forcibly displaced populations by providing recommendations from refugees in the Kaku…
Negotiating Expectations in Refugee Research
Socioeconomic impacts and assistance in economically and socially disadvantaged households in Maharashtra, India, during the Covid‐19 pandemic
COVID‐19 has disproportionately affected the world's most economically and socially disadvantaged groups. Responses to COVID‐19's economic and social impacts differ between and within countries. Using data collected from 4814 households residing in India's Maharashtra state, we sought to characterize the magnitude of COVID‐19 impacts and the scale of social support or assistance provided to households affected during the onset of the first wave o…
Messy Ethics in Human Rights Work
Can social networks improve job search behaviours among low-income youth in resource-limited settings? Evidence from South Africa
Previous studies have established the importance of social networks in determining youth employment outcomes. The quality and quantity of social entities in social networks and effectively using them, have a positive influence on employment outcomes. However, limited evidence exists on the composition and role of social networks on youth employment in resource-limited countries. Our study addresses current evidence gaps by investigating the assoc…
A scoping review of positive youth development programming for vulnerable and marginalized youth in low- and middle-income countries
A critical self-reflexive account of a privileged researcher in a complicated setting
As a white, Western-educated man, undertaking research in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya, I encountered ethical dilemmas related to my privileged racial and gender status. These include power imbalances between researchers and refugees and conducting research in the face of human suffering. Through critical self-reflexivity, I analyze my own experiences to reveal the personal and professional vulnerabilities that researchers from high-income countrie…
Respect’ and ‘justice’ for whom? Culturally irresponsive ethical practices with refugee communities
This article explores how two common social work ethical principles, respect for persons and justice, are understood by refugee young people aged 18–30 years old in Kenya. Through 31 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with refugee young people who had previously participated in academic and/or organization-based qualitative research, this article explores how this group conceptualizes research ethics. The analysis suggests that refugee young pe…
Anti-Oppressive Social Work Research
Research studies with refugee young people (RYP) commonly recognise researchers’ theoretical and methodological approaches with respect to their work. Minimal scholarship, however, considers the process of research participation from the perspectives of RYP, particularly in refugee camps. Social work researchers interested in facilitating research with RYP should not only evaluate how participants understand research, but also acknowledge their p…
Theoretical Understandings of Unaccompanied Young People Affected by War
This article explores the theoretical binary that has tended to encompass the majority of scholarship with unaccompanied refugee young people (URYP) affected by armed conflict. In this paper, we argue that URYP scholars often theorise this population via either a trauma/victimisation framework or resiliency lens, which creates a distinct binary. While these opposing theoretical perspectives provide important insight into understanding URYP’s expe…
The nexus of war, resettlement, and education
Uprooting the Pumpkin
The impact of colonisation affects a number of formerly colonised societies. This paper addresses how therapeutic interventions in northern Uganda align with a colonial framework. It explores connections between the English invasion of northern Uganda in the mid‐1800s and therapeutic approaches to young people affected by armed conflict. Two case examples of treatment for young people at major reception centres are provided: (i) World Vision and …
