Behind the Pages, the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies, features exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict. In this episode, Jihae Cha explores the factors that contribute to refugee students' persistence in education and suggests ways that teachers can create welcoming learning environments to foster this motivation. Her article, "Refugee Students' Academic Motivation in Displacement: The Case of Kakuma Refugee Camp," shows that while students living in Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp experience significant obstacles to their academic attainment, education spaces that support their sense of belonging can contribute to their success.
