Beyond the classroom
Due to graduate students’ growing interests to engage with global issues, more graduate programs are interested in implementing study abroad programs into their curriculum. This article focuses on the benefits and drawbacks of implementing a faculty-led, short-term study abroad programs (FLSTSA) in India. First, this manuscript describes how a U.S.-based university and an India-based college developed a connection that led to faculty and student …
Refugee Resettlement
The future of refugee resettlement stands at a crossroads. This Special Issue brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars to tackle questions and dilemmas central to the durable solution of third country resettlement. The original articles in this Special Issue engage with the policy and practice of resettlement, taking stock of traditional approaches and future possibilities. Drawing on the experiences and voices of …
Girls Rule Art
Arts-based programs can provide space for forcibly displaced youth to process pre-migration and resettlement experiences creatively. While these programs can facilitate growth and healing, limited research addresses forcibly displaced girls’ perceived benefits of engaging in arts-based programs.

This article includes a historical overview of private sponsorship models in the United States and globally. In addition to an overview of the initiative, potential benefits include more US citizens to sponsor refugees and family sponsorships…
Good Muslim, Bad Muslim
Schools have been considered critical institutions for refugee youth. However, Muslim refugee youth experience challenges navigating schools during an increasingly hostile sociopolitical climate for Muslim people. Drawing on the adolescent development framework, this phenomenological study explores how school-based experiences help to shape Muslim refugee youths' identities. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 refugee youth who attended hi…
After the School Day, What’s Next?”
After-school programs can provide important contexts for youths’ development and well-being. While these programs have the potential to serve as an anchor for refugee youth, previous research cites challenges with their access and engagement with them. Drawing on the Positive Youth Development Framework, which offers a lens on how after-school programs are complementary to refugee youth development and well-being, this study explores refugee yout…
The Effect of Mentoring on School Attendance and Academic Outcomes
In response to budget problems, many urban school systems reduced resources for getting students to come to school, such as truancy officers. Chicago, for instance, in 1991, went from 150 truancy officers down to a total of zero. Is that a good idea? In this study, we explore the effects of increased support by a pro‐social adult, or “social capital,” delivered through a structured student monitoring and mentoring program called Check & Connect (…
