As political, economic, environmental, and other forms of turmoil escalate global refugee and displacement crises, especially for children, few interventions offer as much hope as nuanced portraits of teachers diving in courageously, compassionately, and with insightful self-reflection to teach and support such students. In Light through a Prism, Rodriguez and colleagues offer precisely such stories alongside conceptual tools for naming this moment and inquiring about what it means for every one of us to support refugee and displaced students in schools and beyond.
