Seminar Details

Seminar 1: Prof Phillimore will present a paper drawing on her research on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among forced migrants. The talk will be followed by a workshop to consider the different actors who might have responsibility for designing integration capability policy and practice and the kinds of actions or interventions which may support refugee survivors to live a good life in Australia and elsewhere.

Seminar 2: This seminar will feature two presentations with Prof Phillimore presenting a paper on the integration policy reflecting on her contribution to the development of the UK’s Indicators of Integration which has been influential in global and local debates on integration. This will be followed by a paper by Prof Elgenius looking at the role of civil society in supporting employment in neighbourhoods where there is socio-economic disadvantage and high levels of cultural diversity drawing on recent research conducted in seven neighbourhoods in Sweden and the UK. The papers will be followed by a panel discussion with local settlement stakeholders.

The Institute for Culture and Society is located in Parramatta, “the place where the eel sets down” in Dharug language,
along the north bank of the Parramatta River. It sits on the traditional lands and waters of the Burramattagal people of the Dharug Nation,
who have been stewards and caretakers of these territories since time immemorial, in what today is referred to as Greater Western Sydney,
one of the most diverse cultural communities in the world and home to the largest number of Indigenous Australians in the country.
The Institute for Culture and Society acknowledges the Dharug, Eora, Dharawal (also referred to as Tharawal)
and Wiradjuri peoples as traditional custodians and Indigenous knowledge-holders, whose storytelling serve
as historical record, a form of teaching and learning, a way to care for Country,
and an expression of Indigenous culture and identity.
