Telling the stories of young refugees in a range of international
urban settings, this book explores how newcomers navigate urban
spaces and negotiate multiple injustices in their everyday lives.
This innovative edited volume is based on in-depth, qualitative
research with young refugees and their perspectives on migration,
social relations and cultural spaces. The chapters give voice to
refugee youth from a wide variety of social backgrounds, including
insights about their migration experiences, their negotiations of
spatial justice and injustice, and the diverse ways in which they
use urban space.

This book offers a range of personal and engaging stories that
highlight the diverse voices of doctoral students as they explore
their own learning journeys. Through these stories, doctoral
students call for an academic environment in which the
discipline-specific knowledge gained during their PhD is developed
in concert with the skills needed to maintain personal wellbeing,
purposely reflect on experiences, and build intercultural
competence. In recent years, wellbeing has been increasingly
recognised as an important aspect of doctoral education. Yet, few
resources exist to help those who support doctoral students.
Wellbeing in Doctoral Education provides a voice for doctoral
students to advocate for improvements to their own educational
environment. Both the struggles and the strategies for success
highlighted by the students are, therefore, invaluable not only for
the students themselves, but also their families, their social
networks, and academia more broadly. Importantly, the doctoral
students' stories should be a clarion call for those in
decision-making positions in academia. These narratives demonstrate
that it is imperative that academic institutions invest in
providing the skills and support that doctoral students need to
succeed academically and flourish emotionally.
This book adopts collaborative autoethnography as its methodology,
and presents the collective witnessing of experiences of the
COVID-19 pandemic within the higher education sector. Through the
presentation of staff and student experiences and what was learnt
from them, the authors examine the global phenomenon that is the
COVID-19 pandemic through the purposeful exploration of their own
experiences. This book presents an overall argument about the state
of higher education in the middle of the pandemic and highlights
academic issues and region-specific challenges. The reflections
presented in this book offer insights for other staff and students,
as well as academic policy-makers, regarding the pandemic
experiences of those within academia. It also offers practical
suggestions as to how we as a global community can move forward
post-pandemic.
