We are a network of academics, practitioners and community leaders connected by a shared commitment to social justice. With expertise in humanitarianism, technological innovation and community development, we work in partnership with industry, non-governmental, and governmental organisations to create a community-centred, positive impact locally, nationally, and globally. We build capacity for students to engage in transformative and collaborative research.
By drawing together diverse expertise, experience and perspectives we are better able to devise transformative, socially just responses that are community centred, meaningful and valued. We envision that this collaboration can drive change, justice and creative inquiry.
Our approach includes diverse research methodologies with a particular focus on qualitative research. We value lived experience and ensuring that the voices and insights of those directly impacted are are heard. We prioritise co-design, actively involving stakeholders in the development of solutions to ensure they are relevant and effective and impactful.
Include diverse stakeholders, community, industry and government. Create opportunities and spaces to collaborate to better understand the needs and wants of the diverse members and stakeholders..
We envision that our impact would be academic and practical, focused on real-life aspects of migration, mobility and (human) security.
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network.
Focuses on different forms and implications of human migration and mobility (including both voluntary and forced migrations).
