The past few weeks have allowed for a few more opportunities through AUC to work with refugees. I have decided to take a linguisitics course in which students must volunteer to teach english to the local community, including some charities that aid refugees. I will also be taking International Refugee Law, taught by Prof Kagan, which will no doubt prove vital in understanding why many various rights are afforded to African-born refugees and not afforded to Iraqis in Egypt.
I am in the process of researching a few more classes that encompass my line of study, particularly one taught by Dr. Henry. His previous work including psychology in the Egyptian classroom, assimilation of immigrants, and some work concerning minority adolescents struck a chord with my current research. His interest in Stiles Assimilation Model may prove invaluable, and may help in my own qualitative structure.
