About me
I'm a teacher and cultural researcher in the School of Creative Industries at the University of South Australia. My work focuses on transnational mobilities into and out of Australia and the lived experiences of migrants as they negotiate embodied, material and imaginative forms of (re)settlement, home-making and belonging. Methodologically I use longitudinal research processes, narrative inquiry and participatory visual methods. I'm currently finalising a book (Springer 2019) which explores the ways migrants use tactics to enact agency and negotiate risk under the spatial and temporal conditions of staggered migration trajectories (i.e. as they move within and between categories such as humanitarian entrant, temporary labour migrant, working holiday maker, international student, family migrant).
