Intercultural Understanding and Enabling Young People's Well‐Being
Globalisation has made Australia one of the most multicultural and diverse countries in the world. Yet, almost 50% of 18–24 year‐old and 31% of 12–17 year‐old Australian youth who speak a language other than English have experienced discrimination. Schools are key settings where youth experience racial discrimination, which increases risk to mental well‐being. Although many school‐based mental health programs acknowledge racism's impact, they oft…
And Then One Day, Me and My Husband, We Learned How to Cross the Street”
As numbers of displaced people throughout the world steadily increase with the rise in global conflicts, many Western nations, including Australia, increasingly thwart asylum-seeking and place harsh restrictions on entry. Nonetheless, Afghanistan’s troubled political history over several decades has generated steady movement of refugees to Australia, and Australia has offered protection, although often conditional and limited. Little is known abo…
Reimagining Socially just Environments through Children’s Perspectives
Traditionally adults make decisions for children particularly about how they live and play. Children, particularly those hard-to-reach are usually not heard. In this paper we draw on an innovative approach to facilitate children in expressing their viewpoints about what a socially just environment looks like from their perspective. Seventy-five children living in a disadvantaged area of greater Western Sydney, 7–12 years from ten local schools, u…
Doesn't Matter If You Stopped Me, I've Still Got to Chase My Dream
Racism and discrimination, family disjuncture and differential experiences depending on migration experiences influence resettlement in new environments and sense of belonging. This article focuses on a little-known group in Australia – Tibetan youth. This article centres the voices of Tibetan refugee youth in the state of New South Wales seeking to understand, from their frame of reference, how they establish networks and social relations in the…
This Group Is My Country”
Refugees lose their networks and support systems on their journey from their home country. In addition, they may experience torture, trauma, and socio‐economic hardship. A critical question concerning refugee wellbeing is how refugee belonging, inclusivity, and community connectedness can be better understood, strengthened, and promoted. In this article, we discuss how members of the Tamil Seniors Group, supported by the NSW Service for the Treat…
Promoting youth-directed social change
This article examines the influence of social workers’ critical practice on youth-directed social change among hard-to-reach young people in neoliberal new public management contexts. Young people are increasingly acknowledged as essential change agents in ameliorating their experiences of disadvantage or marginalisation. Yet, youth and community organisations supporting projects and strategies to engage with young people’s agency find change fro…
Online ghettoes, perils or supernannies? Australian young people with chronic illness and disability challenge some moral panics about young people online
Current literature focusing on young people’s digital technology use often reflects concerns that they may live virtual lives and withdraw from locally geographically situated spaces. It assumes the existence of a split between offline and online ‘worlds’ corresponding to ‘real ‘and ‘non-real’ respectively. This article reports research findings on how young people locate new social media technologies in their daily lives with particular focus on…
Social resilience
Resilience has predominantly been investigated as an individual’s response to adversity and, at the level of the collective, how communities respond to a direct threat. The social work literature investigating social resilience as a response to the challenge of subtle, pervasive and divisive social threats is limited. This article presents the findings of research conducted in two Australian communities with young people who experienced marginali…

Social resilience
Understandings of resilience which primarily focus on the individual are of limited applicability unless we recognise the historical, economic and political factors in which social life occurs. To explore the social foundations of resilience is to chart the ongoing influence of these factors. An appreciation of this context is pivotal to any understanding of the current situation of Indigenous young Australians. Social and economic disadvantage w…

The Citizenship of Excluded Groups
The language of consumerism suggests that through involvement in consumer processes, consumers can influence policy formation and service provision. This paper examines, as illustrative cases in Australia, how two groups of consumers, people with a mental illness and older people, engage with these consumer processes. It finds they critically evaluate the opportunity offered by consumer processes for inclusion in policy and programmes. Both peopl…
Constraints on the Participation of Women From Non‐english Speaking Backgrounds and Australian‐born Women in Trade Unions
This paper compares traditional explanations given for women's under‐representation in union affairs with those given by a group of NESB and Australian‐born female members of a large New South Wales union. The women's explanations emerge in sharp contrast to traditionally‐held wisdom about women's union participation
