| Dear ~~first_name~~,
We hope you can join us for our first TASA Thursdays event for 2023 next week Thursday 16 February, 12.30-1.30pm AEDT. We are starting the 2023 series off with a discussion on 'The Far Right in Australia: Historical insights and the current scene’. Panellists include fellow members Raewyn Connell and Pam Nilan with colleagues Joshua Roose, and Mario Peucker. You can register for the event here.
If you are a thematic group convener, note that the deadline for funding applications (for events in the second half of 2023) has been extended to March 6th. Today, Tom Barnes, the thematic group portfolio leader, will be emailing conveners directly about this and the first meeting for 2023.
| When the Australian Research Council (ARC) announces their funding decisions, it is always a bitter sweet time. Everyone who has applied for ARC funding is acutely aware of the incredible amount of time and energy that goes into an application. Whilst we extend our warm congratulations to those members bolded below on their recent grant success, we also acknowledge that there will be many members whose applications were not funded. We wish them luck for future ARC funding rounds.
When caring ends: Understanding and supporting informal care trajectories
This project aims to advance understandings of how, why, when, and for whom caring ends, including the socio-cultural and relational factors that shape experiences before, during, and after caring. Using an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, and foregrounding carers’ voices, this project expects to generate new knowledge on the meaning and experience of care and caring. This project is significant in bringing together leading researchers and key carer-focused organisations, spanning service sectors and moving across care relationships, life stages and contexts. Expected outcomes include enhanced service capacity with tangible policy and practice benefits that will enable sustainable and fulfilling informal caring experiences.
Investigators: Associate Professor Emma Kirby; Professor Christy Newman; Dr Brendan Churchill; Dr Louisa Smith; Professor Iva Strnadova; Dr Lukas Hofstaetter; Ms Sarah Judd-Lam; Dr Margaret Boulos
Veteran suicide: investigating the historical and social dimensions
This project aims to address veteran suicide by conducting an historical and cultural analysis of the ways government, the military and the community have understood, governed, and serviced veterans from 1914-present. This project will generate new knowledge, moving beyond orthodox medical and cultural assessments to explore wider historical, cultural and sociological relations of veteran suicide, including civil military relations, and the influence of the veteran sector and families and community. The project will develop an innovative survey that will form the foundation of a longitudinal social health and wellbeing dataset on veterans, and contribute to policy and service provision to reduce veteran suicide and improve their wellbeing.
Investigators: Associate Professor Ben Wadham; Professor Sharon Lawn; Dr Margaret Hutchison; Associate Professor Udoy Saikia; Associate Professor Karl Hamner
Regional Australia' skills shortages and high-skill refugees' employment
Regional Australia loses to cities thousands of professional and trade-related people whose skills cannot be replaced. Focusing on small and medium-size enterprises producing food and beverages, this project aims to determine whether refugee employment (i) is a strategic resource (ii) can alleviate these chronic regional skill shortages, and (iii) can be integrated in immigration policy. In doing so, it will for the first time provide critical empirical evidence on the possible need to separate policy measures aimed at rural vs. urban employers. The outcomes will contribute to reducing the problem of critical skill shortages and wastage at once and do so with an eye to the needs to rural Australia – a key driver of the country’s exports.
Investigators: Professor Massimiliano Tani; Dr Sally Baker; Dr Claire Higgins; Dr Kim Houghton; Ms Katherine Bassett; Ms Stephanie Cousins; Ms Sathya Gnanakaran
Online anti-racism for Australia
Harmful manifestations of online racism are increasing. The neo-liberal assumption is that social media users and user groups can be responsiblised to disrupt online racism. This project analyses a subset of online anti-racism campaigns. The review provides the material to test effectiveness, using surveys. The survey findings will identify the ingredients for effective, safe and efficient online anti-racism intervention. An online anti-racism program will be developed, implemented and evaluated. The development of guidelines for online anti-racism will overtly address the challenges and risks of action in this environment where regulation is so heavily contested.
Investigators: Professor Kevin Dunn; Dr Alanna Kamp; Associate Professor Tristan Kennedy; Associate Professor Nida Denson; Professor Craig McGarty; Professor Yin Paradies; Dr Mandy Truong; Dr Rachel Sharples; Dr Jehonathan Ben
How parents manage climate anxiety: coping and hoping for the whole family
This project studies how Australian parents manage climate anxiety for themselves and their families. Using mixed-methods/mixed-media approaches, it examines whether an increase in climate disasters is accelerating the spread of collective anxiety amongst families, how parents manage this anxiety for their children and partners, and if there are associated mental health burdens and gendered inequities in this management. It also looks at climate anxiety management across generations and climate histories, drawing out pessimistic/optimistic narratives about the future to enable action, resilience, and hope. It will produce an evidence base and photo-voice/documentary resources to help parents and support organisations combat climate anxiety.
Investigators: Associate Professor Roger Patulny; Dr Jordan McKenzie; Associate Professor Rebecca Olson; Associate Professor Fiona Charlson; Professor Mary Holmes; Adjunct Professor Andreas Hernandez
New Possibilities: Young People and Democratic Renewal
Vibrant democracies require generational renewal as norms, values and cultures evolve. This project is a systematic study of Australian students in the climate change movement. Examining who the students are, why they participate, how they organise, how they represent themselves and are represented by others in social and mainstream media, the project ethically advances ways of co-researching students’ civic and political participation in offline and online settings. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for investigating student political action, new knowledge of the motivations, norms and practices that characterise student climate politics and concepts and tools for democratic renewal through engagement with young people.
Investigators: Associate Professor Philippa Collin; Professor Judith Bessant; Dr Michelle Catanzaro; Associate Professor Faith Gordon; Dr Stewart Jackson; Professor Robert Watts
Understanding the role of digital technologies in addressing loneliness
This sociological project aims to develop a new approach to understanding the role of digital technologies in efforts to overcome loneliness. The team expects to generate new knowledge of how digital technologies are used by people who feel lonely and applied in policies and programs, using an innovative approach to explore different views, gaining the essential knowledge for assisting lonely Australians, and building much-needed research capacity in the sociology of loneliness and digital technologies. This should provide significant benefits such as a deep understanding of the sociocultural factors that influence people’s use of digital technologies to address loneliness, and evidence-based support for effective strategies and policies.
Investigators: Professor Alan Petersen; Dr Barbara Barbosa Neves; Professor Flis Henwood
Wealth Inequality in Australia: Sources and Solutions
The project aims to investigate the causes and consequences of asset price inflation and increasing inequalities in asset-based wealth in Australia. It expects to generate significant new knowledge about the evolution of asset-based inequality and about how the increasing concentration of asset-ownership is shaping the life opportunities of young people. Expected outcomes include the identification of policy options available to mitigate the negative impact of asset inflation and growing wealth inequality. This should provide significant benefits for governments and policy makers at a time when asset price inflation and the cost of housing represent critical policy challenges.
Investigators: Professor Lisa Adkins; Professor Martijn Konings; Associate Professor Stephen Whelan; Professor Daniel Woodman
Engaging Outsiders in Sport: Transforming Sport Event Legacy Planning
The project aims to investigate intersectional inequities in sport participation for girls, women and non-binary people in Queensland by working with them to envision legacies for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Using a co-creation approach this project expects to identify how and what benefits can be achieved through legacy planning that engages with end-users who have historically been marginalised in sport. In doing so, the expected outcomes of the project include the development of evidence-based resources to improve engagement in sport and to build capacity and sustain meaningful change for communities and organisations.
Investigators: Dr Adele Pavlidis; Professor Simone Fullagar; Dr Millicent Kennelly; Professor Simon Darcy; Dr Kirsty Forsdike; Professor Holly Thorpe; Professor David McGillivray
Survival & Wellbeing among Migrant Precariat in Australia’s Gig Economy
The food and parcel delivery industry is now a structural feature of the Australian labour market. Little is known about the social consequences of this development for the workforce. especially temporary and long-term migrant workers involved in this industry. This project aims to investigate the risks to safety and wellbeing to migrant cohorts who undertake this work, interrogating the intersecting impact of age, gender, class, and ethnicity and particularly migration status. The project produces major national benefits, such as an enhanced capacity to inform future labour market policies and regulation as well as conceptual innovation in describing the 'everyday survival' strategies of migrant workers in Australia.
Investigators: Associate Professor Selvaraj Velayutham; Professor Amanda Wise; Associate Professor Shaun Wilson; Dr Norbert Ebert; Dr Nicholas Harrigan
Australian Spirituality: Wellness, Wellbeing and Risks
While there has been significant research conducted in Australia on rising religious diversity and those who are non-religious, spirituality has not received the same scholarly attention despite its popularity. This is the first nationwide study of spirituality in Australia, investigating First Nations, religious, and holistic spirituality, their contributions to wellbeing, and their possible risks. It includes a national survey and interviews with spiritual persons, and case studies of sacred places around the country. This project also draws on the expertise of leading First Nations, Australian and international scholars, and will be of national benefit in its capacity to inform practices and policies for personal and planetary wellbeing.
Investigators: Associate Professor Anna Halafoff; Professor Cristina Rocha; Professor Andrew Singleton; Dr Tyson Yunkaporta; Professor Lori Beaman; Professor Paul Bramadat; Associate Professor Mar Griera
The Social Life of Death
This project aims to investigate experiences of death, dying and bereavement amidst rapid social, economic and political transformation. In the wake of COVID19, and as Australia’s anticipated ‘death boom’ approaches, how to foster good deaths has never been more uncertain, nor more urgent. Drawing on innovative methods and socio-cultural theory, and working in partnership with families and communities, this project aims to generate new knowledge to better inform and improve policy and spark cultural renewal around the end of life. Expected outcomes include setting the international benchmark for novel scholarly understandings of death, dying and bereavement, and centring community voices in addressing contemporary challenges to dying well.
Investigators: Professor Alexander Broom; Dr Katherine Kenny; Associate Professor Nadine Ehlers
The sociology of health data for sexuality and gender diverse people
This project aims to investigate the sociological dimensions of digital health data for sexuality and gender diverse people with complex health needs. It employs qualitative and co-design methods to engage with sexuality and gender diverse people, advocates, clinicians, decision-makers, and health data designers. The project expects to generate much-needed knowledge about the participation of sexuality and gender diverse people in health data systems, with respect to trust, disclosure, stigma and prejudice. Expected outcomes include insight for enhancing health data systems for sexuality and gender diverse people. This project should provide significant benefits for the promotion of inclusive, safe and useful health data systems.
Investigators: Associate Professor Mark Davis; Professor Christy Newman; Associate Professor Lisa Fitzgerald
Understanding vicarious trauma in Australian foster care
This project aims to investigate experiences of vicarious trauma in Australian foster care. This project expects to generate new knowledge about antecedents and mitigators of vicarious trauma, and will do so by using interdisciplinary approaches to understand the specific contexts in which vicarious trauma may occur. Expected outcomes of this project includes the generation of national data about vicarious trauma in foster care through the development of a new measure of vicarious trauma. This should provide significant benefits, such as providing a clear means to assessing vicarious trauma, and through the development of a mobile app that will enable foster families in Australia to monitor and report experiences of vicarious trauma.
Investigators: Professor Damien Riggs; Associate Professor Clemence Due; Dr Ben Lohmeyer; Associate Professor Yvonne Clark

| | Members' Engaging Sociology | Deborah Stevenson (2023) Cultural Policy Beyond the Economy: Work, Value, and the Social. Edward Elgar Publishing |  | This unique and insightful book provides a comprehensive examination of contemporary cultural policy and its discourses, influences, and consequences. It examines the factors that have led to a narrowing of cultural policy and suggests new ways of thinking about cultural policy beyond economics by reconnecting it with the practices of work, value, and the social.
With a particular focus on Australia and the UK, and with reference to transnational bodies including UNESCO, this book identifies and examines influential national and international factors that have shaped cultural policy, including its implementation of an economic agenda. Deborah Stevenson retraces the foundations of contemporary cultural policy, with chapters exploring the hierarchies of legitimacy that form the basis of value and excellence, the increased hegemony of the economy within the art world complex, and the notions of class and gender as two key factors of social inequality that shape access to the arts.

| Health Sociology Review
Call for papers: Matters of Time in Health & Illness
Issue 1, 2024 | |
This special issue will bring together papers exploring how time relates with and in health and illness. We encourage submissions that think with ‘time’ in many ways: as a heuristic device for exploring the sociological dimensions of how health and care unfold (in prolonged and fleeting ways); as a sociohistorical situating of health and care practices; as a way of measuring and constituting health experiences and events; and as a speculative orientation towards anticipated and imagined futures of health.
Guest Editors: Mia Harrison, Anthony K J Smith, and Sophie Adams.
Submission deadline: February 12.
| | | Health Sociology Review
Call for papers: Global Healthcare Systems and Violence Against Women and Girls
Issue 2, 2024 | |
Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately 30% of women have experienced violence (WHO 2021a) and that the prevalence of violence against women and girls increases significantly once broader social inequities are taken into account such as Indigeneity, disability, race and ethnicity, 2SLGBTIQ+ status, and age (WHO 2021b). Interaction with the healthcare system can provide an opportunity for a coordinated response to be enacted that provides critical care to women (Fitts et al., 2022). While there have been decades of advocacy for action to address the rates of violence against women, the breadth of minority and marginalised women’s experiences of accessing healthcare following violence are only gradually becoming known.
Guest Editors: Michelle Fitts and Karen Soldatic
