Congratulations to our Portfolio Leader @MSegrave for this excellent result. This is such important work.

Still reeling at the news my #FT21 @arc_gov_au was awarded. This is an opportunity to work across the region with emerging researchers on domestic & family violence, migration & bordering practices. This was only possible from the support of many: across @Monash_Arts and beyond.

[Migration@Monash @MigrationMonash]

Our colleagues at @MonashGFV have 3, fully-funded PhD scholarships to support projects in gender and domestic & family violence. Further details below:

This is abhorrent. Nothing has been gained by the mistreatment of this family, but so much has been lost. How can anyone hold this up as a good decision or a good policy.

[Migration, Borders and Policy Observatory @BObservatory]

It might be convenient to look away, be we bear responsibility for this pain.

Wow, yet unsurprising, rumours of profiteering like this for some time: private contractors profit from detaining refugees @BObservatory @ANZSOC_Borders @bordercrim Big profits in asylum-seeker contracts as workers say they felt ‘cheated, exploited’ https://t.co/QjGLg0txiJ

The accounts of skilled migrant women revealed "skill misrecognition, biased recruitment systems, & cultural & gender stereotypes relating to NESB skilled migrants result in fewer opportunities... upon settlement." Important work by @PrabhaBogoda1 https://t.co/MsNUZcf7tL
