AHEEN Research Statement

Our focus is on participatory knowledge creation that benefits the very communities whose problems the research is trying to address: as our students live in refugee and IDP contexts, the communities are either refugee/IDP camp or urban refugee communities. We promote a scholarship of discovery, integration, application and teaching. As these are the focus of considerable attention from international actors and their solutions, building capacity and systems that are local and adopt local and decolonized approaches, is essential to our vision of research for social change.
