S6E1 - When Emergency Becomes Everyday Life

from JEiE Behind the Pages Hosted by Journal on Education in Emergencies

In this episode, Roozbeh Shirazi unpacks the definitions of humanitarian crisis and emergency as used in the education in emergencies field, and how the war on drugs calls these definitions into question. In his research article, "When Emergency Becomes Everyday Life: Revisiting a Central EiE Concept in the Context of the War on Drugs," Shirazi compares two portrayals of the war on drugs in popular media to evaluate the role of language and power in framing possible humanitarian responses to emergency. Behind the Pages, the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies (JEiE), features exciting and timely conversations with JEiE authors about their work on education in regions affected by crisis and conflict.
