🔍 Our next research webinar is happening next week!

📅 20 May | 1pm AEST
💻 Online via Zoom

“PhD Showcase: New Research on Migrant Workers’ Experiences” brings together three emerging researchers examining migration, labour and gender through the experiences of migrant workers across Australia and the Pacific region.

The webinar explores gig work, temporary migration and wellbeing, and how migrant workers navigate work, study and everyday life within complex systems and policies.

This is a great opportunity to hear from the next generation of scholars working at the intersection of migration, labour, gender and social justice.
