Human Rights for Refugees and Other Marginalised Persons

The book "Human Rights for Refugees and Other Marginalised Persons" offers an innovative framework for qualitative research on asylum seekers, based on the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas. It employs the methodology of Midrash, a narrative form aimed at re-conceptualizing encounters between asylum seekers and researchers. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of refugees' experiences by avoiding the dangers of 'Othering' and silencing voices. By considering the inner phenomena of researchers, such as feelings and intuition, a multidimensional text is created that reflects the diversity of voices and experiences. The methodology of Midrash is presented as an honest and explicit research strategy aimed at revitalizing the passion of academics and researchers.
