Learning from the Levant
Episode 2: Shaddin Almasri
In this episode of Learning from the Levant, host Shatha Mubaideen welcomes Dr. Shaddin, a Research Fellow at CBRL and postdoctoral researcher at Danube University Krems. Shaddin’s research focuses on inequalities between refugee and migrant groups, particularly in the SWANA and East Africa regions.
Together, they discuss the evolving refugee policies in Jordan and the Levant, the challenges of aid distribution, and the long-debated ‘durable solutions’ of resettlement, local integration, and return. With shifting political realities, questions arise about the future of Syrian refugees, international funding, and the broader implications for displaced communities in the region.
