Call for Papers: Gender, Education, and Forced Migration

The theme of the issue is Gender, Education, and Forced Migration. The proposed special issue will examine the gendered impacts of educational policy and practice enacted in response to forced migration.Submissions may analyze education policy and practice in any region of the world experiencing the loss or gain of populations due to forced migration. Key themes to be explored include:
- The gendered impacts of shifting relations of power between communities (defined along ethnic, racial, religious, and/or national lines) brought about by forced migration and realized through educational policy and practice
- Impacts of gender specific education policy upon (receiving and displaced) communities
- The role education policy and practice play in shaping gendered dynamics of transnationality among and between forced migrant populations
- Schooling as a site and process of gender negotiation within migrant and/or receiving populations
