The ADI lunchtime seminars are opportunity for a relaxed, informal, monthly discussion of current research projects and recent publications over a 60-minute lunch session. An ADI researcher speaks for 20-30 minutes followed by 20-30 minutes of Q&A discussion.

 We invite contributions from any researcher, or team of researchers, associated with ADI and all many of projects, from proposed and in-progress projects through to completed research and publications. ECRs are especially welcome.

Please join us on Wednesday 19 April for next ADI Lunchtime Seminar, where Dr Jehonathan Ben will be discussing an ongoing project on racism data which includes the first comprehensive review of existing racism data and data gaps undertaken in Australia. 

 ABOUT

Despite increasing data collection over the last two decades, our understanding of the nature, forms, and impacts of racism in Australia remains limited. Our ability to effectively mobilise existing data for anti-racism is not great either. In this seminar, I’ll introduce an ongoing project on racism data that colleagues and I undertake as part of CRIS. This project includes the first comprehensive review of existing racism data and data gaps undertaken in Australia, and a novel meta-analysis of the prevalence and effects of racism nationally. I will share updates from the project, and introduce the inventory we have been building and our classification of racism data, gaps in racism data identified to date, and recommendations on bridging these gaps and using data for anti-racism. I will then discuss the project’s relevance to creating a national data management plan and research agenda, and to anti-racism policies globally.   

SPEAKER

Jehonathan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with background in social anthropology and racism research. He coordinates a research stream within CRIS that seeks to challenge racism and enhance social belonging. He has a strong interest in everyday intercultural relations, racism and anti-racism, and migrant lives and mobilities, and uses diverse methodologies that range from ethnography to meta-analysis. His publications have appeared in Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, PLOS One, Systematic Reviews and the Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Racisms.
