Spatial and transformative dimensions of recent Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugee family settlement in Australia
The immigration scholarship of Stephen Castles
Stephen Castles, who has been a leading migration scholar and migration theorist for five decades, has passed away aged 77. From 1986, Stephen was the Director of the Centre for Multicultural Studies at Wollongong University, Australia. In 2001, Stephen then moved to Oxford University as Director of the Refugee Studies Centre and worked at Oxford University till 2009 when he returned to Australia to take up a position at the University of Sydney …

Stephen Castles and Australian Immigration Policies, Politics and Possibilities
Stephen Castles has been a cutting-edge migration scholar and migration theorist since the 1970s. An Australian by birth, Castles’ retirement from the University of Sydney in 2017 provides a moment to reflect on his legacy in the field of global and Australian immigration scholarship. In this paper, I first present some personal reflections on the profound way that Stephen has shaped my own career as an Australian immigration scholar. The paper t…
Minority Youth and Social Transformation in Australia: Identities, Belonging and Cultural Capital
Increasingly minority youth, especially from Muslim backgrounds, have been seen in Australian public policy and the media as potentially disruptive and transgressive. In some European societies similar young people have been portrayed as living in parallel and disconnected social spaces, self-segregated from interaction with the wider community. Yet Australian ethnic minority youth do not fulfil either of these stereotypes. Rather, despite their …
Looking for Rural Idyll ‘Down Under’: International Immigrants in Rural Australia
This article outlines the empirical findings of the first national longitudinal study of almost 1,000 recent immigrants who decided to move to non‐metropolitan Australia. The national survey (2008‐2010) identified that new international immigrants tend to move to rural areas because of the natural beauty, lifestyle and community spirit to be found there, as well as the idyllic image of peacefulness and a relaxing environment associated with these…
Two Sets of Business Cards: Responses of Chinese Immigrant Women Entrepreneurs in Canada and Australia to Sexism and Racism
Existing entrepreneurial discourses have been dominated by white middle-class androcentric approach, giving little space to the discussions of racism and sexism experienced by minority women entrepreneurs. This paper aims to fill this gap through an examination of the experiences of Asian immigrant women entrepreneurs in Canada and Australia using an intersectional approach. The key research question addressed in the paper is to what extent, and …
Rethinking Australian Immigration and Immigrant Settlement Policy
In the past two decades the Australian immigration experience has changed considerably in response to the changing impact of globalisation and the changing geopolitics post 9/11. During this time immigration and multiculturalism have remained controversial. This article reviews the Australian experience with immigration and immigrant settlement over the past few decades. The aim was to provide the guidelines for Australian immigration and settlem…
Multiculturalism and Immigrant Integration in Australia
Depuis plus de soixante ans, l'Australie est une nation de premier plan dans l'accueil des immigrants, alors que ceux-ci sont au cœur même de sa construction. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, le caractère de ces nouveaux arrivants a cependant changé considérablement, alors que les problèmes d'immigration et de multiculturalisme ont fait l'objet de controverses tant dans l'opinion publique que dans les politiques nationales. Mais qu'arrive-t…
No-one ever asked me: The invisible experiences and contribution of Australian emigrant teachers
Teachers possess qualifications and experience that opens the door to professional migration. It is common when considering the diversity or otherwise of the teaching profession to treat the dominant group of teachers in terms of ethnicity as the other side of a simplistic binary. That is, the immigrant or minority background teacher versus the culturally homogenous mainstream teacher. There is little research that examines the experiences and co…
Immigrant Teachers in Australia
One of the features of contemporary society is the increasing global mobility of professionals. While the education industry is a key site of the demand for contemporary global professional migration, little attention has been given to the global circulation of education professionals. Over past decades, immigrant teachers have been an important component of skilled and professional immigration into Australia, there is no comprehensive contempora…
Exploring Cosmopolitanism
Identities, Aspirations and Belonging of Cosmopolitan Youth in Australia
This article presents the results of a survey of the attitudes, aspirations and belonging of mainly immigrant minority youth living in Western and south western Sydney conducted in 2007 to provide some evidence to contest the populist view of immigrant youth as being a threat to Australian society. Rather the survey points to the very positive aspirations of Sydney's immigrant youth, their strong sense of having a positive future role in Australi…
Minority Youth, Crime, Conflict, and Belonging in Australia
Ethnic Precincts as Ethnic Tourism Destinations in Urban Australia
Australia has received one of the relatively largest and most diverse intakes of immigrants of any of the Western nations, with more than half of the population of Australia's largest cities first- or second-generation immigrants. The tourism literature places great importance on the cultural industries and the growth of cultural tourism in countries like Australia. But the link between immigration, ethnic diversity, and tourism, which we call et…

Ethnicity and Public Space in the City: Ethnic Precincts in Sydney
Ethnic precincts are one example of the way that cultural diversity shapes public spaces in the postmodern metropolis. Ethnic precincts are essentially clusters of ethnic or immigrant entrepreneurs in areas that are designated as ethnic precincts by place marketers and government officials and display iconography related to that ethnicity in the build environment of the precinct. They are characterized by the presence of a substantial number of i…
Social Cohesion in Australia
Australia's reputation as a successful large scale immigrant-receiving nation is well formed. In the latest wave, not only have millions of diverse people arrived in the post-war period from 1945 to a growing, high income, good employment economy; but the society absorbing them has remained stable and cohesive. This is not to say that it has been entirely plain sailing - sensitive debate, isolated interethnic violence, and the degree of migrant g…
Immigrants As Victims of Crime and Criminal Justice Discourse in Australia
Issues related to immigrants as criminals or victims of crime resonate strongly in Australia because it has a relatively larger and more diverse immigrant population than most western countries. Focussing on Sydney, the aim of this article is to explore a number of aspects of immigrant victimology in Australia: immigrants as victims of crime; as victims of the fear of crime; as victims of racial abuse and violence in the aftermath of the 11 th of…
The Changing Political Economy of Australian Immigration
Immigration has been a significant and controversial part of Australian history since 1947, but the nature and composition of Australian immigration and the policies and philosophies of immigrant settlement have changed considerably over that time, particularly in the last few decades of globalisation. The aim of this paper is to assess the changing political economy of Australian immigration in two senses. First, the paper presents an overview o…

La situation socio-économique des immigrés
Même si la législation australienne en matière de droits sociaux et civiques accordés aux immigrés est plus souple que celle de la plupart des pays européens, des inégalités subsistent entre immigrés et Australiens de souche , et au sein même des populations immigrées , en fonction de leur origine et de leur maîtrise de la langue anglaise. Les restrictions actuellement envisagées sur le plan social risquent d'aggraver ces inégalités, et de débouc…
Immigrant Families in Australia
Australia has relatively more immigrant families, of greater ethnic diversity, than most western societies. In order to understand the diversity of experiences of immigrant families in Australia it is necessary to reject simplistic "culturalist" explanations in favour of a political economy approach. The immigrant family in Australia is viewed as a social construct emerging in different ways at different times in response to changing structural, …

Understanding Ethnic Small Business: A Case Study of Marrickville
Ethnic small businesses are an increasingly important feature of economic life in Australian cities. Which groups are most likely to go into this sector, and what are the factors which make for ‘success’? What is the price for survival in terms of working conditions and family life, and what are the fruits of success? These are some of the questions being investigated in a two‐year study of ethnic small business in the Sydney region. This paper p…
