Abstract

This paper proposes adding a fourth pillar of relational justice as pedagogical love to Fraser’s (2009) conceptualisation of social justice in the context of refugee schooling. It contends that the relational realm can be a site for mitigating (or generating) injustices independently and in relation to the cultural, economic, and political conditions for social justice. It is, therefore, a politically significant site for understanding and tackling misrecognition, maldistribution and misrepresentation within school systems and processes, which contribute to hindering the young refugees' learning, feelings of safety, sense of belonging, and ability to flourish and regain a sense of home in their new environments.
