Abstract:

Currently, the scholarly literature does not address the possibility of the existence of a counter narrative of what integration might mean to the immigrant communities who are the subjects of the integration debate. In the case of Muslim immigrants in Australia, their perspectives on what integration means is absent from this debate. This study therefore attempts to examine the meanings of integration from the perspective of the Muslim people themselves. Over the course of 2010 and 2011, four focus group discussions were conducted with Muslims in the South East Queensland region of Australia

Abstract:

This paper examines the discourses of multiculturalism and secularism in Australia through the lens of Albanian Muslims living in two Victorian cities, Shepparton and Dandenong. Grounded on 17 months of fieldwork and an analysis of Australian government policy, it argues that the reliance of State policies on constructed concepts of ethnicity, religion, nationality and community are inadequate based on the divergences of understanding and use of these concepts between the Albanian people I met and their use in State policies and projects.

Abstract:

This research examines the representations of Arab and Muslim Australians in the media and political discourse on the issues of terrorism, boat people and the Cronulla riots, during the Howard years. The research is based on analysing events, political statements, media reports and broadcasts that have negatively portrayed the Arabic and Muslim communities in Australia. The study argues that the contemptuous depiction of Arabs and Muslims in the mainstream media was due to two factors: Orientalist attitudes and the ushering of a new post-multiculturalism era which is now being carried out unde

Abstract:

Inter-religious dialogue is an essential means for different faiths and believers to develop friendship and understanding in an increasingly global and multifaith society. Additionally, it could provide for increased levels of social harmony in a seemingly divided yet ever-shrinking globalised world. Islam has a long history with Australia that pre-dates European colonisation; however, research into the nature and impact of interfaith dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims is scarce. To date, there is an extensive gap in the academic record as no comprehensive historical exploration on inte

This thesis examines how the countering violent extremism initiatives implemented by the Australian government since 2011 have been received by Muslim communities in Sydney and the impact such measures have had, particularly, for those communities.

The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre can be justifiably viewed as a turning point in relations between the Islamic world and the West, foregrounding a dominant pejorative representation of Muslims and Islam that continues unabated.

This thesis investigates how postcolonial pressures on the Arab-Australian Muslim identity have led to the presentation of a too-unified front in Arab-Australian storytelling. By interviewing Egyptian Muslim women living in Brisbane, and as one myself, I identify what I call intersubjective obstructions, which provide opportunities for autoethnographic interrogation. I examine how Yassmin Abdel-Magied, through her memoir Yassmin’s Story, renders a Brisbane-based Arab-Australian Muslim hybrid identity. I find that post-colonial pressures can force the creation of the Good Muslim Hero narrative.

Abstract:

This research addresses the responses by the Australian library profession to the series of national and international terrorism events that commenced with the attacks on the United States on September 11th 2001. It specifically investigates the response of the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) in the light of changes to Commonwealth Government policies and legislation, and the subsequent impacts on the policy environment in which Australian public libraries operated, and their delivery of collections and services to Muslim clients.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the ways in which instances of everyday racism reproduce geographies of national belonging and exclusion in the city, focusing specifically on an activist campaign in Newtown, Australia, which called on the community to ‘Say no to burqas’. The focal point of this one-man campaign was a large, street facing mural, depicting a veiled woman, crossed out inside a red circle. The mural attracted much community opposition, and was defaced over sixty-four times. This thesis deconstructs the ways in which the mural campaign inscribed a particular national imaginary onto N

Abstract:

Despite the fact that Muslims in Australia are the third largest group, surprisingly, analyses of the role of religion in Australian Muslim communities are rare. Studies of Muslims in Australia focuses either on their settlement needs, such as housing and employment, or examine them as part of the larger group of immigrants from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds (NESBs). In either case, the settlement needs of African Muslims, especially from the Horn and North Africa, have been essentially discussed in terms of their ethnic, rather than religious, origins. These studies, while providing much n

Abstract:

In the decade since the events of 9/11, Muslims and Islam came to act as symbols for the putative correlation between immigration and the erosion of social cohesion in a number of Western countries, including Australia. Increasingly, immigrant integration was believed to be key to the maintenance of social cohesion and individual immigrant integration was seen as the main factor in successful integration. The Howard Government distanced itself from multicultural policies by rejecting group identities for 'ethnic' minorities, while, conversely, strengthening group identity in terms of nationa

In the past few years, many people with an Islamic background have settled in Australia. Within the health care context, this means that health care providers must modify the care provided to ensure it meets the needs of this culturally diverse population. Little nursing research has focused on understanding the perceptions and experiences of Muslim people within health care systems, particularly in Australia.
