Abstract

How to Support Refugee and At-Risk Academics draws primarily, but not exclusively, on the reports, experience and testimonies of many individuals, organisations and institutions participating in the Pathfinder UK University Grants Scheme. Run by Cara from 2006-2008, the Scheme offered UK universities seed funding of up to £10,000 to review and develop policies and practices in support of refugee and at-risk academics. The universities that took part supported a number of academics in need from a range of countries and disciplines. Several also chose to assist academics still in the process of seeking asylum in the UK, though this group falls outside CARA’s mandate.
