Half Time Scholars: Attacks on education as a potential driver of migration during times of conflict Half Time Scholars

On this episode we feature the work of Myuri Komaragiri (she/her) who is a first-generation Canadian, who is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). From field experience in Guatemala, Morocco, and Jordan, as well as her MA dissertation on higher education pathways for refugees, Myuri is interested in the intersections between forced migration, higher education, conflict and peace. Though previously focusing on access to quality higher education for forcibly displaced populations, she is now increasingly interested in how targeted attacks on education during times of conflict act as drivers for migration, particularly for students and academics. Myuri works as an Education Policy Analyst at Global Affairs Canada (GAC), and is a lecturer at the University of Toronto, teaching a course on the role of education in (re)producing and transforming inequities.
