OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The UN Refugee Agency aims to double refugee enrollment in postsecondary education to 15% by 2030. In the U.S., this goal intersects with refugee resettlement and higher education policies. Examining the nexus of higher education, NGOs, and student experiences provides insight into the various policy structures influencing postsecondary access and success. This mixed-methods project draws on longitudinal data from displaced learners enrolled in higher education. It explores how individuals leverage distinct forms of capital to persist despite policy barriers that hinder their postsecondary pathways. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers seeking to support increasing refugee participation in postsecondary education.
