Drs. Ronald Beghetto and Sarah Dryden-Peterson have a conversation about Dr. Dryden-Peterson’s work with refugees and how their educational journey usually involves environments with high levels of uncertainty. They discuss how this uncertainty can provide opportunities for educators to support creativity and foster community with refugee students.
Ronald Beghetto talks with Dr. Sarah Dryden-Peterson about REACH, a program she leads to create and facilitate welcoming and inclusive education to refugees in different parts of the world. She shares how educators can help refugee students make navigational decisions between what exists and what could be, and realize that their malleable histories and identities are what makes them part of communities. Dryden-Peterson explains how refugees, surrounded by uncertainty and disruption, provide an example for us as we emerge from the pandemic.
