CONGRATULATIONS TO DR ANNE PEDERSEN ON SECURING AN ARC LINKAGE GRANT

This 3-year project involves a multi-disciplinary team consisting of Anne Pedersen (social psychologist, Murdoch University), Kevin Dunn (social geographer; University of New South Wales), Jim Forrest (social geographer, Macquarie University), Yin Paradies (Social epidemiology; Menzies School of Health Research), David Ip (Sociology; The University of Queensland) and Hurriyet Babacan (Social Sciences, Victoria University). We have arrived at similar conclusions regarding the regionally varied nature of racism, and the need for context-sensitive anti-racism. Regional typologies of racism, and contextual information, will be generated. Anti-racism templates for each regional type will be developed, and then tested in case study regions. We will evaluate the following: the match between anti-racism templates and existing policies, stake-holder perspectives on what forms of anti-racism work locally, and the transferability of the templates. This experimental means of assisting anti-racism will generate protocols that could be replicated globally, and cement this Australian research team at the frontiers of anti-racism scholarship.
