Behind The Pages - Podcast Of The Jeie

This is an episode of Behind the Pages - the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies. Join us for these exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict.

However, refugees’ lived experience of this policy is often far different than the letter of the law would suggest. In her article, “Bureaucratic Encounters and the Quest for Educational Access among Colombian Refugees in Ecuador” Diana Rodríguez-Gómez discusses how the promise of universal access is shaped by the interactions between bureaucrats and the refugee families seeking education, between layers of government administration, and many other factors.
