Mapping stories through multiple disasters: Secondary qualitative analysis of a cartographic storytelling resource
Care ethics, disaster, and climate justice: A relational rights-based approach for the Anthropocene
Accelerating climate change and widening inequalities demand new conceptual tools for understanding how social work can contribute to reparative climate justice. Written from the Australian context where social work remains systematically undervalued, particularly within the disaster sector, this article brings feminist care ethics into dialogue with critical economic and climate justice scholarship to articulate a renewed conceptual framework fo…

Women and Housing After the Lismore Floods (Australia) – A Relational Rights-Based Approach
Australia is experiencing both a housing crisis and an increase in extreme weather events due to global warming. This largely dry continent, beset by bushfires and floods, is a land of stark inequality. These inequitable landscapes make recovery from disaster difficult and prolonged for those already marginalised. National statistics reveal that older women are the fastest growing group facing housing precarity, and disasters compound upon this d…
Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations and disaster response
Relevant international frameworks, government policy and academic discourse about disaster response and recovery claim that it should be community-centred. Walgett, New South Wales, has recently endured a number of disasters including floods, COVID-19, and water and food security concerns. The experience of recent disasters in Walgett revealed that the Walgett Aboriginal community is disproportionately negatively impacted at times of such crises.…
Teaching human rights-based social work in Australia – drawing from practice experiences in diverse environments
This reflective piece considers the author’s formative professional experiences including working in the criminal justice system in Central Australia, and conducting humanitarian monitoring of immigration detention centers across Australia, both environments where the human rights of those impacted were constrained through the domestic legal frameworks. By utilizing these experiences to illustrate the strength of embracing a human rights-based ap…
Lived experiences of youth justice detention in Australia: Reframing the institution in a decarcerated state
Learning from disaster inquiries and other reporting: How top-down responses erode community recovery
Disasters do not happen in a vacuum. Instead, they compound upon the inequities already present in every environment in which humans exist. We can no longer neatly separate environmental issues from social justice issues, with the stark recognition that people already socially and economically marginalised bear the greater burden of disasters, and therefore carry the greater impacts of climate change. Just as recognising that the social determina…
Protecting human rights in youth detention: Listening to the voices of children and young people in detention
Human rights abuses and entrenched cultural problems have been exposed in youth detention centres across Australia in recent years. Australia’s recent commitment to a comprehensive system of human rights monitoring under the UN Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture by January 2022 creates the opportunity to better protect rights. This includes ensuring that monitoring bodies overseeing youth justice detention engage effectively with…
