Abstract
This feature relies on a review of relevant literature (1) to interrogate the effectiveness of international ambitions in supporting higher education for different marginalised groups and how these efforts may contribute to alleviating the obstacles that refugees and asylum seekers experience with regard to higher education; and (2) to showcase examples from the United States (US) which demonstrate the extent to which the international meritocracy-related aspirations fall short in the face of multiple structural barriers that refugees and asylum seekers are left to overcome. This discussion is significant to contribute to the debate that questions the feasibility of meritocracy in the higher education sector, and thus, problematises the meaning of social justice in higher education.
