About Refugee Research Online
Refugee Research Online provides a platform for academic and non-academic research and comment on issues surrounding people seeking asylum and refugees.
While our contributors’ fields of interests converge, their knowledge, experience and perspectives vary. We believe it’s vitally important for knowledge sharing across the entire sector and disciplines throughout Australia and beyond to better inform and empower people seeking asylum and refugees and their advocates.
The site was previously hosted by Researchers for Asylum Seekers, an interdisciplinary organisation based at the University of Melbourne. Now, Refugee Research Online exists as an independent website and is edited by Mark Justin Rainey, Sarah Hughes and Phillipa Bellemore. Please contact our editors via: refugeeresearchonline[@]gmail.com
Our primary audience is people working with people seeking asylum and refugee issues in academia, the non-government sector, the wider sector community, and the various levels of government, as well as advocates of people seeking asylum and refugees, consultants, and, importantly, the general public.
Like our contributors, our readers are researchers, analysts, policymakers, advocates, public servants, practitioners, consultants and students. Uninvited posts are welcome, though publication is not guaranteed, and revisions may be requested. Click ‘Contribute’ in the menu to get involved.
Refugee Research Online is supported by Melbourne Social Equity Institute.
