Abstract
Refugees increasingly access informal education services and drop out from formal education provision. In this framework, what I call "emergency education" is increasingly provided as a humanitarian aid toolkit item. What social implications does this have? How do child subjectivities envision their future in schools established with short-term humanitarian goals, which may become permanent? Here the role of anthropology is vital in capturing such "pedagogies of transit", that is exploring school materials and curricula approved and provided by host governments and humanitarian agencies of alleged temporary governance. I use the case of Syrian refugee camps in northern Jordan to open up new avenues of inquiry.
