  • Emptiness, resistance, and repair

    Open Access•Sally Lamping, Rebecca S Field et al.•ARTICLE•Culture and Organization•2026

    In line with government priorities, universities increasingly promise to provide ‘workplace ready’ graduates, yet for many migrant women this readiness is produced through shadow work, understood as unpaid, invisible labour. Drawing on participatory action research with self-identified Culturally and Linguistically Marginalised Migrant and/or Refugee (CALMMR) communities in Australia, we analyse two contrasting lived experiences, Leni, a white Ge…

  • Making sense of academic service in unpredictable times

    Open Access•Sally Baker, Melanie Baak et al.•ARTICLE•Higher Education Research &…•2025

    Despite operating in unpredictable times and rhetoric to the contrary, universities make it hard for academics to pursue transformative agendas, meaningful community engagement, and activism to inform social and policy changes. This disjuncture is acute for academics working in fraught areas, such as forced migration. The frailty of higher education, caused by decades of neoliberal governance, increasingly restricts what ‘counts’ as academic serv…

    Decolonising solidarity in higher education: navigating barriers and enablers in advocacy with people from displaced backgrounds

  • Covid-19 Vaccination Program for Migrant and Refugee Women in Western Australia

    Lisa Hartley, Lana Abdullah et al.•ARTICLE•Progress in community health…•2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted culturally and racially marginalized (CARM) migrants in Australia, with communities having varying levels of accurate knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines. At the height of the pandemic, public health programs that prioritized colonial knowledge and practices resulted in negative social, economic, and health outcomes for CARM communities. To support access to COVID-19 vaccinations and equity in deliv…

  • HIV-Related Knowledge and Practices among Asian and African Migrants Living in Australia

    Open Access•Daniel Vujcich, Alison Reid et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2023

    Australian HIV notification rates are higher for people born in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa compared to Australian-born people. The Migrant Blood-Borne Virus and Sexual Health Survey represents the first attempt to build the national evidence base regarding HIV knowledge, risk behaviors and testing among migrants in Australia. To inform survey development, preliminary qualitative research was conducted with a convenience…

  • Equitable teaching for cultural and linguistic diversity

    Sally Baker, Joel Anderson et al.•ARTICLE•Educational Review•2022

    While the impacts of COVID-19 on higher education are still unfolding, it is clear that the disruption caused by the pandemic has provided a warrant to re-consider existing teaching and learning practices. We provide a reading on whether existing teaching and learning practices should be retained or whether new practices can and should emerge through the lens of culturally and linguistically diverse migrant and refugee (CALDMR) students. These st…

  • Strategies for Recruiting Migrants to Participate in a Sexual Health Survey

    Open Access•Daniel Vujcich, Graham Brown et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    In this article, we describe the approaches taken to recruit adult migrants living in Australia for a sexual health and blood-borne virus survey (paper and online) and present data detailing the outcomes of these approaches. The purpose was to offer guidance to redress the under-representation of migrants in public health research. Methods of recruitment included directly contacting people in individual/organizational networks, social media posts…

  • What do we know about how women with forced migration experiences access tertiary education in resettlement contexts? A scoping study

    Rachel Burke, Sally Baker et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 8

    There has been a growth of scholarly interest in the experiences of people with refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds as they seek to access tertiary education in resettlement. While gender is frequently identified as a key factor that impacts equitable participation in tertiary studies, the educational challenges for women with forced migration experiences (WFME) are often incidentally identified, rather than a targeted focus of inquiry. Here, w…

    Open Access•Anita Lumbus, Caroline Fleay et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Social Issues•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 63

    This article discusses a community‐based participatory research (CPBR) project, which used photovoice to explore 43 refugee women's perspectives of settlement in Perth, Western Australia. The research was conducted between a university and a multicultural women's health service from 2016 to 17. The women were given cameras and chose topics to photograph, which represented their settlement experiences and, using reflective group dialogue, reflecte…

  • Discursive constructions of equity in Australian higher education

    Open Access•Sally Baker, Rebecca S Field et al.•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2021•References: 19

    There is a strong rationale for people seeking asylum and refugees given temporary protection to be key beneficiaries of Australian higher education equity practices. However, despite the extreme precarity they face, this group remains among the most educationally disadvantaged populations in Australia. Here, we use critical discourse analysis to examine the publicly available statements of 38 Australian universities to identify discursive repres…

  • Facilitating Access to Higher Education for People Seeking Asylum in Australia

    Open Access•Rachel Burke, Caroline Fleay et al.•ARTICLE•Refuge Canada s Journal on Refuge•2020•Cited by: 1

    Higher education remains unattainable for many people seeking asylum in Australia, where temporary visa status renders individuals ineligible for a range of government services including assistance with financing tertiary study. Many universities have responded by offering scholarships and other essential supports; however, our research indicates the challenges associated with studying while living on a temporary visa can affect the success of ed…

  • Using Online and Face-to-Face Simulations in Human Rights Tertiary Teaching

    Open Access•Lisa Hartley, Fiona McGaughey•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights Practice•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    Learning environments and delivery modes in tertiary education have experienced rapid changes in the past 15 years. A key development has been the increased use of information technology and offering tertiary education online. This paper explores whether simulation exercises used to teach international human rights law at a postgraduate level in a face-to-face setting could be adapted for online teaching. It presents findings from a simulation of…

  • Process in the Community, Detain Offshore or ‘Turn Back the Boats’? Predicting Australian Asylum-seeker Policy Support from False Beliefs, Prejudice and Political Ideology

    Open Access•Lisa Hartley, Lisa K Hartley et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Refugee Studies•2018•Cited by: 5•References: 12

    Over the past few decades, there has been a progressive implementation of policies designed to deter the arrival of people seeking protection. In Australia, this has included offshore processing and towing boats of asylum seekers away from Australian waters. In a community survey of 164 Australians, this study examined the predictive role of false beliefs about asylum seekers, prejudice and political ideology in support of three policies. Multipl…

  • False Beliefs About Asylum Seekers to Australia

    Open Access•Anne Pedersen, Lisa Hartley•ARTICLE•Journal of Pacific Rim Psychology•2017

    There has been much controversy about the treatment of asylum seekers in Australia in recent years, with the Australian Government continuing to enforce a very hard-line stance on asylum seekers who arrive to Australia by boat. The present study examined attitudes towards asylum seekers using 164 Australian community members during June 2015 by way of questionnaire. Our primary research question involved how five variables predicted false beliefs…

  • How Activists Respond to Social Structure in Offline and Online Contexts

    Open Access•Lisa Hartley, Lisa K Hartley et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2016•Cited by: 4•References: 33

    The social identity model of collective action (SIMCA) proposes that collective action flows from identity, perceived injustice, and efficacy beliefs but do these drivers apply for activists in all situations? Intuitively, the social structure that confronts activists should influence when and how they act. In two studies, we consider how activists incorporate the opinions of other people, groups, and institutions as part of their own reality or …

    Open Access•Caroline Fleay, Anita Lumbus et al.•ARTICLE•Cosmopolitan Civil Societies An…•2016•Cited by: 8

    Public and political claims about the employment of people from a refugee background in Australia do not always reflect the research findings in this area. For example, recent claims by a senior Coalition Government Minister about people seeking asylum who arrived to Australia by boat during the previous Labor Government’s terms in office (2007-13) posit that many have limited employment prospects. However, given there is little research or gover…

    Over the past few decades, Australia has implemented increasingly restrictive measures to try and deter the arrival of asylum seekers. In our article, we review what is known in the literature about the antecedents of prejudice against asylum seekers. We outline 11 mechanisms, or variables, as being particularly important. We then draw out the practical implications as they relate to antiprejudice interventions. Within the research and implicatio…

    While most of the world's refugees reside in developing countries, their arrival to western countries is highly politicised, giving rise to questions about the types of entitlements and rights that should, or should not, be granted. In this study, using a mixed-methods community questionnaire (N = 185), we examined attitudes towards social policies aimed at providing assistance to two categories of new arrivals to Australia: resettled refugees (w…

  • Australia Day, flags on cars and Australian nationalism

    This article reports the results of research into the recent popular phenomenon of flying Australian flags on one's car for Australia Day. A survey was undertaken in Western Australia in 2011 to ascertain who flies the flag and why. Results indicate the phenomenon was widespread, with a quarter of those surveyed displaying car-flags. A clear relationship between car-flag-flying and exclusionary nationalism is demonstrated. Car-flag-flyers rate mo…

  • Housing and the Creation of Home for Refugees in Western Australia

    Farida Fozdar, Lisa Hartley•ARTICLE•Housing Theory and Society•2013•Cited by: 31•References: 20

    Safe, appropriate housing is vital for the successful settlement of refugees, since establishing a home is part of the process of redeveloping a sense of ontological security. However humanitarian entrants in Australia have a far greater likelihood of moving multiple times in the early years of settlement and are far less likely to be purchasing their homes compared to other migrants. Using data from interviews, focus groups and a photovoice exer…

    The year 2011 marked the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Refugee Convention. It is thus an appropriate time to review the situation of refugees in one of the few signatory countries that accepts United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees-approved refugees, Australia. Australia takes around 14,000 refugees annually, from countries in the African, Middle Eastern, and Asian regions. The Australian Government funds a range of services to as…

    Australia offers some of the best government-funded settlement services in the world to refugees who come through its official resettlement programme. These services cater to their material, medical and, to some extent, their social needs. However, services cannot provide a sense of belonging to people uprooted from their homelands and transplanted to a culturally and geographically distant place. Or can they? This article explores the facets of …

    This research explores the role of opinion-based groups in understanding responses to racist violence such as the 2005 Cronulla riots in Australia. Traditionally, explanations of collective action in social psychology and sociology focus on conflict between broad social categories. We propose that the responses to the riots can be understood not only as inter-group conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims, or an in-group argument amongst non-Musl…

    Open Access•Lisa Hartley, Lisa K Hartley et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Refugee Studies•2018•Cited by: 5•References: 12

In Australia, this has included offshore processing and towing boats of asylum seekers away from Australian waters.

  • Facilitating Access to Higher Education for People Seeking Asylum in Australia

    Open Access•Rachel Burke, Caroline Fleay et al.•ARTICLE•Refuge Canada s Journal on Refuge•2020•Cited by: 1

    Higher education remains unattainable for many people seeking asylum in Australia, where temporary visa status renders individuals ineligible for a range of government services including assistance with financing tertiary study. Many universities have responded by offering scholarships and other essential supports; however, our research indicates the challenges associated with studying while living on a temporary visa can affect the success of ed…

    Open Access•Sally Baker, Rebecca S Field et al.•ARTICLE•British Educational Research…•2021•References: 19

Here, we use critical discourse analysis to examine the publicly available statements of 38 Australian universities to identify discursive repres…

These st…

    Rachel Burke, Sally Baker et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 8

Here, w…
