Drawing on in-depth fieldwork, this study reveals how gender, race, nationality, and power dynamics shape both aspirations and resistance to resettlement. The article challenges dominant narratives that frame resettlement as a universally desired solution and calls for an intersectional approach to understanding refugee agency, particularly in Global South contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unpacks how \u201cresettlement-mindedness\u201d and &#8220;deservedness&#8221; manifests through vocational and language training efforts in pursuit of self-reliance objectives .<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenges the assumption that resettlement is a universally desired solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers a nuanced understanding of refugee agency in the Global South.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and community members to engage with this important work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01419870.2025.2474612?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are proud to announce the publication of a new article in Ethnic and Racial Studies: Being \u201cresettlement-minded\u201d: Intersectional Dimensions of Refugee Resettlement Strategies and Refusals in Jordan By Sarah Nandi, Oroub El_Abed, Megan Bradley, and Hamzah Qardan Published: March 21, 2025 in Ethnic and Racial Studies This timely and insightful research explores how refugees [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[298,1,303,416,145],"tags":[556],"class_list":["post-10494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-megan-bradley","category-news","category-oroub-el-abed","category-sarah-nandi","category-swg-p","tag-articles"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":"article-print"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10494"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10500,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10494\/revisions\/10500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
