Re-connecting the Dots ...The Impact of Covid-19 on Displaced Students in Higher Education Systems
Editor: Johanna Fassl
In 2017 Franklin University Switzerland’s Scholarships Without Borders program hosted a two-day international workshop that focused on challenges and best practices in refugee education, connecting the dots between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. Volume 9 of intervalla re-connects these dots under the premise of how Covid-19 impacted degree and attending programs in higher education systems. Upheavals, such as natural or anthropogenic disasters shake all systems, and, in the wake of them, incite reflection and provoke out-of-the-box thinking. The articles in this volume, written by both academics and displaced students, took the pandemic as an opportunity to rethink the general perceptions of borders and what defines migration. Beyond philosophical reflections, the texts also discuss specific programs and initiatives that have been successful during Covid-19 and may find future applications.
