Habitus in transition: Class, migration and education in regional Australia
This paper examines how migrant mothers living in a regional Australian town negotiate class and moral value through their engagement with their children’s education. Drawing on Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and capital, extended through an intersectional lens, it explores how middle-class orientations formed prior to migration are reworked in contexts in which ethnicity, religion, gender and regionality shape opportunities. Education emerges as…
Unsettling inclusion: Refugee-background students and the cultural politics of regional schooling
This paper examines how refugee-background youth in regional Australian schools conceptualise inclusion, challenging policy framings that reduce it to access or cultural celebration. Drawing on in-depth interviews, the analysis shows that these young people read inclusion through the lens of power: who is seen, who is heard, and whose futures are made possible in school. Their accounts reveal practices of misrecognition embedded in routines, clas…

Understanding the educational landscape for refugee background students in non-metropolitan Australia: A scoping review
This scoping review explores the educational experiences of refugee-background students (RBSs) within remote, rural and regional Australia. It synthesises literature on RBSs in these contexts to identify unique educational challenges. This review analyses relevant studies published between 2015 and 2024 to uncover themes at the intersection of non-metropolitan settings and refugee education. The challenges identified included limited access to re…
A Situated, Comparative Approach to the Everyday Transcultural Experiences of Migrant Youth
Drawing on mixed-level data gathered through surveys and in-depth interviews with migrant youth from Melbourne (Australia), Toronto (Canada), and Birmingham (the UK), this paper offers deep socio-cultural insights into our understanding of everyday diversity and difference in reframed transformative, positive terms. Moving away from a dominant public discourse of disruptive, transgressive characterisations, this paper emphasises the relational po…
Transcultural practices and inter-generational dynamics among migrant youth
Acts of transcultural belonging and social empowerment among migrant youth
Drawing on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with migrant youth in Melbourne, Toronto and Birmingham, this paper explores the relationship between transcultural capital and the negotiation of belonging within wider social and political challenges. It examines these intersecting questions in a global context of pandemic crises, enduring securitization agendas, tightening of migration policies, rising racism as well as deep-rooted social inequal…
Empathy Across Difference: Migrant Youth and Transcultural Capital
In this article, we explore the diversity, histories, and social experiences of migrant youth in Melbourne and Toronto and how they negotiate difference and otherness in their everyday lives. By moving away from the tensions and problems that have often been associated with migration and diversity, we explore how migrant youth’s engagement with multiple cultural systems does in fact engender empathy as a valuable form of transcultural capital. As…
Transcultural capital and emergent identities among migrant youth
The everyday practices and socio-cultural identities of migrant youth have become a focal point of contemporary sociological research in Western countries of immigration. This article engages with the concept of transcultural capital to frame the possibilities and opportunities embodied in young migrants' multi-layered identities and cross-cultural competencies in the context of an increasingly interconnected and diverse world. By re-conceptualis…

It draws on data gathered from a study that evaluated aprogramme designed to support learning and public action for human rights. The paper highlights these young women’s experiences of the double bind of racism and patriarchy in their lives around familial/community and public ideas about what it…
Australian Young Muslim Women's Construction of Pious and Liberal Subjectivities
Drawing on the narratives of Australian young Muslim women, this paper examines the way the subjectivities of religious feminine piety and secular and democratic liberalism are embodied and, therefore, continually produced through the practice of religion. It aims to understand women’s piety in relation to questions of self and agency. Liberal self-governance presents as a possible precursor to pious self-construction of religious subjectivities …

This article draws on an analysis of the narratives of Australian young Muslim women to explore their higher education experiences and aspirations. The article aims to explore the notion of agency employed by Muslim female university students in relation to the ways they discover their own capabilities along their deployment of available financial, cultural and social resources under cultural and structural constrains. The women’s accounts sugges…
I feel sometimes I am a bad mother: The affective dimension of immigrant mothers' involvement in their children's schooling
This article identifies the complex emotional dimensions of migrant mothers' involvement in their children's education, building on feminist scholarship which affirms the importance of their emotional labour. We present findings from a study of Muslim Iraqi mothers with school-aged children in Australia, based on 47 interviews with 25 immigrant mothers. Drawing on a Bourdieusian conceptual framework, we argue that the reserves of cultural and emo…
