I had the privilege of teaching Afghan women at Asian University for Women , as part of a global effort to anticipate, evade, and resist the horrors of the Taliban.

The Taliban is scared of those women, as well they should be. I am glad that the strategy is another part of that effort. Without women's education we cannot address the planetary crisis.

In order to pass this test, you will have to assume multiple identities, fool armed guards, survive a brutal, unpredictable network of internment camps, become an expert in managing hostile bureaucracy in several foreign languages, and pass live survival tests involving freezing weather, barbed wire, days without food and crossing 40km of freezing water. At the advanced level, you will do this while pregnant and protecting a small child, with the added requirement of surviving sexual assaults.

Congratulations. You are an "unskilled migrant" and a "illegal" asylum seeker.

Our RILA / research report is out on .

It re-frames ethically, interculturally, as restorative and conflict transformational with communities, place and relationships strengthened through community development at its core.

It takes the burden of change from those seeking refugee and holds it in common for all.

It offers international supports and systematic review

Reminded by a post from someone who's decided to move to Scotland.

I'm a Scot. Grew up in . Started uni in Aberdeen, age 18, in 1974. Been here ever since. Close on 50 years.

The only fok who've told me I'm not Scottish have been (and only a handful of times) and Scottish .

In full swing - a strong feeling of joy as resistance - , old Scots, big Scots, wee Scots blethering away - and celebrating the extraordinary work they have accomplished. And not least because Musicians In Exile just brought the house down.

At the recent NATECLA Scotland conference, a familiar theme was coming through in discussions of barriers to integration & employment for . is not enough. When ppl step out of ESOL bubbles to access services, employment or the wider community, it often doesn’t matter how good their English is or how skilled they are, the barriers remain because they are often the only ones who have learned & adapted. We need to shift the focus journal.nystesol.org/Vol8No2/0
