Out of the Ashlaa': Refugee Language Education in Times of Heartbreak and Failure
Wednesday 10 September 2025 14:30-16:00
Alison Phipps, Khawla Badwan, Hyab Yohannes
This keynote explores what responsible educational research and teaching look like in times of profound crisis, particularly in the face of war, displacement, and structural violence. Drawing from 15 years of work in language education with displaced and besieged communities- including Gaza, Eritrea, and other conflict zonesβ€” the presentation introduces a pedagogy of heartbreak. It reflects on the failure of language, education systems, and peace-building frameworks in the face of genocide, trafficking, and scholasticide.

LA teachers are on the frontlines as Ice raids terrorize their students: β€˜You are not alone’ Embedded in their communities, educators are becoming the biggest advocates and resource distributors for students

I'm not sure if you're a member of the LLP group (link in my bio - not affiliated with IAPLL!). I was going to make a WhatsApp for those in the group who are going to Graz if you're interested :)
