ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the more applied aspects of this orientation to various forms of health and social practices. It presents a conceptual framework that provides a dual focus on understandings of refugees and professional practice. The chapter also presents the two vertical dimensions relating to how the everyday/extraordinary and belonging inform this analysis. It provides the four scaffolding perspectives as the basis to rethink familiar conceptualizations about understandings of refugees and practice. The four scaffolding involves engaging perspectives on: what is the unit of analysis; who are the actors involved; how does politics inform understandings of practice and understandings of refugees; and how does transnationalism possibly relate. The chapter illustrates how a human rights framework articulates a language and orientation to unsettle familiar practices and perceptions that relate to these understandings. One approach to achieving this human rights analysis is to adopt a 4A standards analysis that considers the availability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability of any right.
