אודות ד"ר מניה אוריאל כגן:
Manya is a “Global Shifts: Urbanization, Migration and Climate Change” postdoctoral research fellow at Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania.
As a sociologist of education and migration, her research explores the complex intersections of educational policy, social justice, and the experiences of forced displacement. Specifically, her work centers on three interconnected areas: educational policy, aid, and development; social justice and urban disparities; and refugee and migrant education.
Manya received her Ph.D. in Sociology of Education from Ben Gurion University in the Negev in 2023. Her dissertation project focused on the integration of refugee children in primary schools in Kampala, Uganda.
Throughout her career, she has designed, managed, and executed numerous multi-year research projects around displaced populations, development, and child protection topics in varied contexts, including insecure environments. Manya has extensive experience in qualitative and mixed research, particularly participatory visual research methods and RCT-based educational interventions.
