This edited collection focuses on digital empowerment for displaced people from migrant and refugee backgrounds, exploring the intersections of digital technologies, settlement, education and global migration. The book adopts a strengths-based and inclusive approach to understand what digital empowerment means and how it can be applied in a range of community and educational settings.
The ten chapters bring attention to the need for innovative approaches and educational strategies that promote digital empowerment for people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, with application to finding employment, furthering education, building community, and accessing social support services. The text also considers what is necessary for effective digital empowerment, highlighting how existing personal resources can be utilised, in conjunction with technologies, to build capacity, enhance community networks and preserve cultural connections. By adopting a strengths-based perspective, the writers highlight how challenges can be transformed into opportunities. Through conceptual understandings, grounded examples and case studies each chapter offers clear and actionable takeaways for policy, practice, and research.
Based on cutting-edge theory, this is an essential read for social and educational researchers, teacher educators and their students, policy makers, and educational practitioners.
