About Wen-Yu


My scholarly interests lie in the areas of migration and refugee studies, youth, education, humanitarianism and ethnographic methods. I commit to a reflexive approach to research. Through the current project "Routes to Wellness" (previously Forced to Flee), I hope to explore the challenges and opportunities in doing participatory and collaborative research in which the existing power dynamics in knowledge production are constantly reflected and problematized. My previous PhD project investigates im/mobilities, waiting and hope in students’ expectations and pursuits toward higher education in the case of Syrian refugee students in Lebanon and Jordan. The work takes on a critical lens in examining humanitarian practices in providing educational opportunities in the region.
