Refugees are a sociopolitical category produced by conflict: a category of humans who have become a global crisis. The latest reports estimate 70.8 million people are displaced from their homelands, which number includes 25.4 million refugees (UNHCR, 2019b, para.1). I propose the further category of refugee-immigrant to describe refugees who are living in a host country as permanent residents thereby locating individuals who are no longer living in the hiatus of a refugee camp or temporary refuge country, and demarcating challenges and obstacles that may not exist when one immigrates by choice.There is an absence in the literature on refugee-immigration that includes the voices of women, or refugee-immigrant flourishing. This research, grounded in a feminist participatory action research (FPAR) methodology, sought to discover the following: How does a group of refugee-immigrant women living in the diaspora in Metro-Vancouver, Canada, define flourishing? The concept of flourishing was initially perceived by me to mean a state of wellness of mind, body, and spirit, and differentiates a state of mere survival from a state of well-being and growth. The methodology is based in transnational feminism informed by Derridean (Derrida, 1999, 2000, 2001) and Levinasian (Levinas, 1969, 1981, 1985, 2006) hospitality: a methodology that is both democratic and decolonizing. The research group, self-defined as Global Women Seeking Change (Global Women), practised a host-host methodology or "participatory-hospitality," a term I propose to specifically capture the nature of this methodology that resulted in both significant social action and a sustainable community action group. This research revealed much about the obstacles and experiences of refugee-immigration, including the main obstacles of language barriers, family reunification, and childcare-all of which impede the experience of flourishing-but primarily revealed epistemology that included potential solutions and suggestions for policy change and social innovation as they relate to family definition, education, access to resources, and housing.Global Women determined flourishing to be born of resilience and acknowledgement of mystery; it may include the presence of melancholy; and it includes acceptance of that which appears unacceptable. Global Women further determined that flourishing is an active, participatory, and ongoing process.
