 ‘A powerful exploration into the complexities of energy access within refugee settings’ A new open access book by RSC Research Associate Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen draws upon a decade of original research to provide evidence on the energy lives of refugees. Focusing on refugee camps in Rwanda and Kenya, the book identifies that urgent change is required within humanitarian responses to forced migration and the climate crisis to ensure that future energy provision in displacement settings is sustainable, reliable and affordable for refugees. https://lnkd.in/er3v_U33 Register to attend the launch event: 📅 28 November, 6pm UK time 📍 London and online https://lnkd.in/e5z7r7e5

If you missed Ashwiny Kistnareddy discussing her new book, ‘Refugee Afterlives: Home, Hauntings and Hunger’ you can listen to the podcast now! The book explores the cultural production of two generations of Vietnamese refugee(s') children: the 1.5 generation (those who were children when they arrived in the host country) and the second generation (those who were born to refugees in the host country). Analysing a broad range of non-fiction and fiction writing by these two generations in France, Canada and the USA, this book discusses how they grapple with their positionality as refugee(s’) children and the attendant problematics of loss - in particular, how they recuperate this loss by deploying notions such as home, hauntings and hunger. Refugee Afterlives identifies the tools deployed by the 1.5 and second generation, tests their limits while understanding that these writers’ creations are constantly changing and shifting paradigms and will continue to be so over the next decades. Each writer is finding their own voice and pathway(s) and while these may sometimes overlap and contain commonalities, afterlives by default imply plurality and differences. This book offers ways of examining these texts, juxtaposing them, contrasting them, putting them in dialogue with each other, underlining their differences, but ultimately demonstrating that there is much to be gained in seeing how 1.5ers and the so-called second generation Vietnamese refugee writers contribute to a wider discussion of Vietnamese refugee(s’) children and what happens to them after resettlement. https://lnkd.in/e_Tynxye

How do we create sensitive and inclusive shelter for refugees? Tom Scott-Smith will be discussing his new book, 'Fragments of Home', in an event hosted by the Department of Geography and Environment and the International Inequalities Institute at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The story of international migration is often told through personal odysseys and dangerous journeys, but when people arrive at their destinations a more mundane task begins: refugees need a place to stay. Governments and charities have adopted a range of strategies in response to this need. Some have sequestered refugees in massive camps of glinting metal. Others have hosted them in renovated office blocks and disused warehouses. They often end up in prefabricated shelters flown in from abroad. In this talk, Tom Scott-Smith draws on the book to discuss how humanitarians, architects, and government authorities have sought to provide shelter to refugees. Drawing on detailed ethnographic research into these shelters, he will reflect on their political implications and open up much bigger questions about humanitarian action. The event will explore how the principle of autonomy can offer a fruitful approach to sensitive and inclusive shelter for refugees. Discussants: Myfanwy James and Nick Henderson Chair: Neil Lee 🗓️19 November, 6:30pm In person and online https://lnkd.in/eym4AVGV
