This bibliography offers a snapshot of some of the available literature that relates to the following areas of scholarly and practitioner interest: * Refugees and access to, participation in, and transition out of higher education * Schooling and refugee youth * Adult Education (including learning host language and literacies) * Resettlement of refugees and CALD migrants * Employment of refugees and CALD migrants in resettlement contexts * People seeking asylum in Australia * Discourses and media narratives relating to forced migration * Methodological and ethical discussions relating to research with refugees * Citizenship and refugees In this library, you will find summaries and annotated bibliographies of literature with a common focus on refugees and asylum seekers (and to a lesser extent CALD migrants more broadly). This paper begins to explore FL in the third sector as a distinct space for collaborative language and literacy pedagogies which can offer alternative approaches to FL in more formalised learning contexts. The research draws on the New Literacy Studies approach, combined with challenges identified from personal experiences of teaching ESOL and FL in an adult education (AE) context. ![]() This pedagogical ethnographic research is currently in progress in two community spaces in the West Midlands, UK. Accompanying this emerging educational provision is a growing tension, and a vulnerability caused by the potential politicisation of family literacy in the third sector. With a social and humanistic learning approach at its roots, Family Literacy (FL) is a growing area of migrant educational provision in the sector, with venues starting to offer classes distinct from English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). The sector's position, distinct from formalized contexts, creates new potentialities, as well as challenges, providing educational and welfare support to diverse migrants from the outset of their arrival. The third sector is currently free from government funding restrictions. As mothers, they also respond to new obligations with regards to their children. As women seek refuge they are faced with new demands as they establish themselves in a new society. ![]() Migrant mothers arrive in the UK from diverse backgrounds many have experienced traumatic upheavals, dispersals of family members, and complex trajectories.
