Civic Sinoburbia? New Chinese migrants and everyday citizenship in Sydney . Australia has seen a large influx of China-born migrants in the past few decades. Large numbers of them have taken up residency in various Sydney suburbs, where they now make up almost a third of the population. Focusing on four such suburbs, this project examines how these new Chinese migrants participate in everyday civic life, the barriers that may prevent participation, and how local civic organisations adapt to thei ....Civic Sinoburbia? New Chinese migrants and everyday citizenship in Sydney . Australia has seen a large influx of China-born migrants in the past few decades. Large numbers of them have taken up residency in various Sydney suburbs, where they now make up almost a third of the population. Focusing on four such suburbs, this project examines how these new Chinese migrants participate in everyday civic life, the barriers that may prevent participation, and how local civic organisations adapt to their growing presence in five domains of social life: education, culture, sport, religion and community service. The project will generate nuanced new knowledge on the local impacts of new Chinese migration, of benefit for urban multicultural governance and enhancing local community cohesion. Read moreRead less

Seeing the Black Child. This project aims to provide a deep understanding of the manner in which Black (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, African and Afro-diasporic) people understand their children’s situation. While dominant conceptions of childhood are typically assumed to be universal, they generally take the figure of the white child, emerging out of a predominantly European body of knowledge, as paradigmatic. This project seeks to expand, reconfigure and present a more complex underst ....Seeing the Black Child. This project aims to provide a deep understanding of the manner in which Black (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, African and Afro-diasporic) people understand their children’s situation. While dominant conceptions of childhood are typically assumed to be universal, they generally take the figure of the white child, emerging out of a predominantly European body of knowledge, as paradigmatic. This project seeks to expand, reconfigure and present a more complex understanding of childhood, one which more adequately reflects Australia today. It is thereby expected to contribute to the work of ensuring that as befits a just, plural society, those whose roles relate to children have an inclusive rather than a parochial grasp of childhood.Read moreRead less
Protocols for Indigenous-led creative practice. This project will investigate how Indigenous Design Charters improve the representation of Indigenous content in professional creative practice through in-depth Australian and Canadian case studies.

This project will investigate how Indigenous Design Charters improve the representation of Indigenous content in professional creative practice through in-depth Australian and Canadian case studies. It aims to generate new knowledge by utilising an Indigenous research paradigm to understand the significance of building ethical relationships between practitioners, stakeholders and Indigenous Knowledge. Expected outcomes include an enhanced Indigenous presence in creative practice and greater international collaboration between practice-based researchers. It should provide significant benefits such as increased Indigenous representation in industry and research training, and new resources to engage appropriately with Indigenous Knowledge.Read moreRead less
