Religious Switching in Australia
Recent Australian census data (2006–2021) indicate that identification with religion continues to decline across Australia’s population. This is particularly seen among Christian adherents. To understand this phenomenon, religious switching needs to be considered in addition to migration, birth and mortality. This article uses the recently released Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) to provide important insights into religious switchin…
Complex Religion, Conspiracy Theories, Misinformation, and Covid-19 in NSW, Australia
This article explores contemporary empirical evidence of the extent of the uptake of misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 with regards to religion in the New South Wales population in Australia. The data were collected through an online survey conducted in 2022 (N=5,276). Religious respondents tend to follow conspiracy theories, distrusting the recommendations of scientists and for some, resourcing information from religious lead…
Misinformation and Conspiracy Theories During the Covid-19 Pandemic in NSW, Australia and the Risks for Social Cohesion
Conspiracy theories are by no means new. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the risks and dangers associated with beliefs in conspiracy theories and misinformation intensified. Furthermore, while conspiracy theories are often attributed to marginal or fringe populations, the pandemic context saw the spread of such ideas more widely and with greater impacts. The latter includes fuelling major public disorders, political violence and/or widespr…
Overseas Born ‘Religious Nones’ in Australia
Australia has witnessed a significant rise in people claiming ‘No-Religion’ in recent censuses with the percentage having more than doubled in the last two decades. Academic literature addressing Australian non-religion focuses on explaining this rise and/or investigating the inherent diversity of the substantial religious ‘none’ category. Existing research also tends to refer to two broad categories of non-religious people in Australia: those wh…

Mapping Social Cohesion in Australia
EExisting evidence regarding Australian attitudes and values relating to social cohesion has yet to be comprehensively reviewed. Therefore, there is little understanding of how various programs of research relate to one another, how the information is used, where the data gaps are, and which questions remain unanswered. Drawing upon a scoping review of published research between 2012 and 2022, this paper is a first step towards mapping the extent…
Understanding Trust in Contemporary Australia Using Latent Class Analysis
In 2019, an online survey of 2,015 Australian residents examined the extent of trust of various groups and institutions. A Latent Class Analysis (LCA) of the results generated a typology of trust in Australia. The LCA uncovered four classes based on levels of trust as well as associated demographic profiles and attitudes. The four groups were: those that are very distrusting (15%); those that are largely unsure about how much they can trust vario…
Training the ageing bodies
In the Scandinavian countries, reablement has become a principle permeating all parts of elderly care, hence potentially transforming care and care work. This article explores the advent of new knowledge paradigms and practices of physiotherapists and occupational therapists transforming reabling care in particular ways, leading to what we term a logic of training emerging in the field. These professional groups have obtained a dominant position …
Tinkering with (in)visibilities
New surveillance technologies have in later years been introduced in care for older people as part of a broader policy agenda of 'sustainable' welfare state retrenchment, promoting ideals of self-sufficiency and empowerment of older people 'ageing in place'. Drawing on newer approaches to surveillance studies, this article explores care workers' active labour in creating (in)visibility in a complex and ongoing process of tinkering, while negotiat…
Asian Australians' Experiences of Online Racism during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Between 13 November 2020 and 11 February 2021, an online national survey of 2003 Asian Australians was conducted to measure the type and frequency of self-identified Asian Australians' experiences of racism during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey also aimed to gauge the relationships between racist experiences and targets' mental health, wellbeing and sense of belonging. In this paper, we report findings on the type and frequency of online racis…
Chinese Australian Daughters’ Experiences of Educational Opportunity in 1930s–60s Australia
Interviews with Chinese Australian women highlight the impacts of cultural and gendered identities on the educational opportunities and achievements of daughters in 1930s to 1960s Australia. Some women recalled being prepared as children for their later role as dutiful wives – tasked with domestic duties, working in family businesses, given limited educational opportunities, and made aware of their role to be ‘married off’. Others recalled equal …
Chinese Australian women’s ‘homemaking’ and contributions to the family economy in White Australia
This paper draws upon qualitative interview data to present a historical geography of ‘homemaking’ and economic activity among Chinese Australian women during the White Australia Policy era. An analysis of interview material indicates that some women dedicated their lives to unpaid work in the home, while other women worked in family businesses in subordinate positions. In some instances, Chinese Australian women took on more responsibility in th…
Land and housing as crucibles of racist nationalism
Nationwide surveys in 2015-16 in Australia collected data on experiences of racism in various spheres of everyday life, including housing. Of 6,001 respondents, 843 were of an Asian birthplace or background, and 638 spoke an Asian language. These Asian Australians had double the rate of experience of racism than had other Australians, in the form of racist mistrust, disrespect, and name-calling (70% vs 35%). When renting or buying a house, almost…
Australians' Views on Cultural Diversity, Nation and Migration, 2015-16
Between July and August 2015, and in November 2016, the Challenging Racism Project team conducted an online survey to measure the extent and variation of racist attitudes and experiences in Australia. The survey comprised a sample of 6001 Australian residents, which was largely representative of the Australian population. The survey gauged Australians' attitudes toward cultural diversity, intolerance of specific groups, immigration, perceptions o…
Welfare Professions in Transition
Welfare professions constitute one of the backbones in the development of the Nordic welfare states. Working in the public sector was for decades associated with high status; public sector employees were trusted employees. Through their work, they had important responsibilities for the welfare state and its citizens. To provide job security—through employment as officials—was a part of ensuring the stability of the state (Åkerstrøm, 2001), and we…
From Carers to Trainers
This article explores how a nationwide reform initiative, calling for a rehabilitative, activating and ‘training’ approach to elderly people in Danish homecare services, may transform gendered and embodied conceptions of ‘the professional care worker'. Care work for the elderly is a low‐paid and low‐status occupation, affected by the stigma connected with elderly bodies. Drawing on an ethnographic case study of a homecare unit, this article shows…
Managing ethnic diversity
Formative Geographies of Belonging in White Australia
The relationship between nationally unified calls for immigration restriction in the White Australia period and the emergence of an imagined national identity has been the focus of much valuable historical research. Through the method of content analysis, a geographical lens was used to re-examine the Commonwealth Parliamentary debates regarding the development of theImmigration Restriction Act 1901and to provide empirical support to the existing…
