AI as a ‘Saviour’: Supporting Women’s Education in Dzaleka Refugee Camp
<p>How does Artificial Intelligence shape learning when your classroom is a refugee camp and your day is divided between study and motherhood? </p><p>In Season 2 of Higher Ed Voices at the Margins, we explore AI through the lived experiences of learners in excluded communities around the world. In this episode, Edith, a student and mother in Dzaleka Refugee Camp, shares why she calls AI a “saviour” – a tool that helps her manage the multitude of challenges and pressure women face while pursuing higher education. </p><p>But Edith also raises an important warning: AI must never replace independent thinking. For women especially, education and technology should build autonomy, courage, and the ability to stand on one’s own, rather than create new forms of dependence. </p><p>As she shares her story, Edith calls on women to take risks, become role models for their children, and use AI thoughtfully to create better futures for the next generation. </p><p>🎧 A powerful reflection on AI, resilience, and women’s empowerment at the margins. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>----------------</p><p>Views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the Higher Ed Voices at the Margins podcast host, or those of Jesuit Worldwide Learning’ </p><p></p>

“AI Is Not a Painkiller: A Critical Voice from Kakuma Refugee Camp
<p>In this episode, Kalo Hissen, a Jesuit Worldwide Learning AI Research Hub researcher and BA in Sustainable Development student, shares a critical refugee perspective on Artificial Intelligence from Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. </p><p>Kalo challenges the idea of AI as a quick ‘painkiller’ for educational problems and warns that “AI will either build you or destroy you”, depending on how it is used. He reflects on how early AI systems failed to recognise Kakuma’s reality, revealed linguistic bias through Swahili translations, and exposed the lack of inclusion of marginalised contexts. </p><p>This episode is a call for AI literacy, critical thinking, and responsible use, and reminds us that AI is not a worker or a replacement for thought, but an assistant that should support creativity, learning, and human agency. </p><p>Dive deep in a powerful conversation on AI, language, power, and education at the margins!</p>

“AI is Magic”: Intelligent Use of AI for Community Benefits in Kurdistan Region (Iraq)
<p>“AI is magic — but we must learn to use it intelligently.” </p><p>In our newest episode of Higher Education: Voices at the Margins, we meet Sultan, a JWL on-site facilitator in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, who shares his reflections on how artificial intelligence can empower learners at the margins. </p><p>For Sultan, AI isn’t just a tool. It’s a bridge that connects people across fragile contexts. In Khanke, a community that has suffered genocide, destruction and displacement, technology is helping learners regain access to information and education. </p><p>He reminds us that people at the margins also “deserve” access to technology and higher education. </p><p> <br /> When used mindfully, AI can help students develop their thinking, creativity, and sense of purpose, and even be used for the good of the community. </p><p>Listen to Sultan’s inspiring story about how AI can connect, empower, and transform e-learning wherever we are in the world. </p><p><br /></p>
