I'm interested in exploring internet use amongst refugee youths. The Internet has become embedded in the daily lives of much of the developed world (DiMaggio et al., 2001; Howard, Rainie & Jones, 2002; Wellman & Haythornthwaite, 2002). For refugee migrants, connectivity can be vital to maintaining family connections, staying informed and secure, supporting economic self-sufficiency, and educating themselves (Mikal and Woodfield 2015). Refugees migrants’ online participation presents a unique opportunity to examine the internet activities and refugee migrants’ resettlement process. I examine how refugee migrants’ internet participation affects their feeling of belongingness and social integration to new society.
