Reconceptualising 'Integration': A research journey
The ‘RefugeesWellSchool’ project aims to promote the wellbeing of young migrants and refugees by supporting their ‘integration’. Emma’s research on the project in two UK schools challenges the dominant ‘integration’ model.
She proposes an alternative framework based on her findings and suggests implications for social and educational policy and practice.

Living on the Margins: Understanding wellbeing through the everyday life experiences of young Arab Jerusalemites
In this Doctoral Research-in-Progress (DRiP) presentation, May will describe her research journey, starting from the point she developed an interest in the topic, through to why and how she went about researching it. She will pause at various intervals throughout to highlight particular challenges encountered, how she dealt with them, and ultimately “found her voice” through the ‘messiness’ of it all!
