Colaiacomo, Silvia, Gur Geden, Ayse, Linehan, Antonia, Manning, Anthony (2022) Harnessing the benefits of sanctuary scholarship: opportunities for community enhancement, widening participation and internationalisation at home. Intercultural Education, . pp. 1-17. ISSN 1467-5986. E-ISSN 1469-8439. (doi:10.1080/14675986.2022.2144623) (KAR id:99137)

Abstract

The paper focuses on the importance of Internationalisation at Home, access and support mechanisms which are provided and co-created by students and university departments to encourage sanctuary scholarship. The paper gives particular attention to activities that encourage meaningful interaction with local communities and widen international participation of marginalised groups, such as students from the global south and asylum seeker communities. The paper presents two case studies. The first case study focuses on a student-led project developed by the students and staff of Canterbury Christ Church University. The second case study projects students’ voices from the global south and refugee communities at The University of Kent and University College London (UCL). The experiences of these students highlight the importance of welcoming and supporting students from marginalised back-grounds. They also demonstrate the need for both curriculum- based and co-curricular activity and student services which provided tailored support and encouragement.
