Schools for refugee youth play a vital role in facilitating the transition and assimilation into host societies. This doctoral dissertation research project investigates the role that resettlement schools and the social and civic networks of refugee and resettled students play in the integration of youth into host societies. By examining the impacts, networks, and outcomes of students in resettlement schools within the context of state policy, this doctoral research project advances scientific knowledge of transnational educational policy for refugee youth. The research develops a social network model adaptable to other studies on migrant and refugee schooling. In the context of dropping secondary school enrollment rates of refugee students globally, a scientifically tested model addresses the education and integration needs of displaced youth worldwide. Findings will be disseminated to local stakeholders in both academic and non-academic settings. In addition to training a graduate student in the methods of empirical data collection and analysis, the research engages a historically underrepresented group in science into the research design. To measure the effects of resettlement school pedagogy and curriculum on social networks and civic practices of resettled youth the researchers will use qualitative research methods and social network analysis. Research methods for the project include participant observation, interviews, discourse analysis, and archival analysis. Specifically, the research identifies the civic practices and cultural strategies developed by students that are most effective for assimilation and their impacts on government structures and educational programs. The examination of the effects of cultural and social factors on formal refugee and migrant schooling environments contributes to the anthropology of education, migration and refugee studies, and educational policy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

难民青年学校在促进难民青年过渡和融入东道社会方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该博士论文研究项目调查了安置学校以及难民和安置学生的社会和公民网络在青年融入东道国社会中所发挥的作用。通过研究国家政策背景下安置学校学生的影响、网络和成果，该博士研究项目推进了难民青年跨国教育政策的科学知识。该研究开发了一个适用于其他移民和难民学校教育研究的社交网络模型。在全球难民学生中学入学率下降的背景下，经过科学检验的模型可以满足全球流离失所青年的教育和融入需求。研究结果将分发给学术和非学术环境中的当地利益相关者。除了对研究生进行实证数据收集和分析方法的培训之外，该研究还让历史上在科学领域代表性不足的群体参与到研究设计中。 为了衡量安置学校教学法和课程对安置青年的社交网络和公民实践的影响，研究人员将使用定性研究方法和社交网络分析。该项目的研究方法包括参与观察、访谈、话语分析和档案分析。具体来说，该研究确定了学生制定的对同化最有效的公民实践和文化策略及其对政府结构和教育计划的影响。审查文化和社会因素对正规难民和移民学校教育环境的影响有助于教育人类学、移民和难民研究以及教育政策。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
