Abstract
This study examines the construction, navigation, and contestation of belonging for Syrian refugee youth in the context of inclusive refugee education in Jordan, where refugee students study alongside Jordanian nationals. I demonstrate how belonging is always in flux and constantly being negotiated across local, national, and transnational scales, at times reinforcing belonging and at other times contradicting and challenging it. I argue that these contradictions comprise the ongoing process of navigating and negotiating belonging.
