Panel on Migrant Youth in Multicultural Cities: Comparative Perspectives on Culture, Religion and Identity

Our partner investigators, Professor Lori Beaman and Dr Serena Hussain, visited Deakin University in October 2019. As part of their visit, they joined chief investigator Professor Fethi Mansouri in a public discussion at our Burwood campus.

In this public panel, our researchers unpacked debates on migrant youth and diversity in Australia, Canada and the UK from a local and global perspective, and they discussed some of the ways in which the everyday negotiations of cultural and religious diversity can be re-imagined.

A PhD scholarship is now available to initiate and conduct research as part of this project, undertaking research on migrant youth, multiculturalism and human mobility.

We are looking for an innovative PhD research project that creatively engages with the possibilities and opportunities embodied in young migrants’ identities and competencies (rather than the tensions or problems that are often associated with diversity). The position will suit a student with a background in sociology, politics and international relations, anthropology or a similar social science discipline. Empirically the PhD project will focus on Australia, although comparative research with Canada and the UK is also welcome. The successful applicant will be based at Deakin’s Melbourne Burwood Campus and will be supervised by Professor Fethi Mansouri.

Applications close 5pm, Wednesday 30 October 2019.
