SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF AFRICAN REFUGEES IN AUSTRALIA

Immigrants and refugees in countries of immigration in developed countries have to carry the 'burden of integration' into the assumed monoculture of the host society. What it means to migrants(immigrant+refugees)needs to be studied. How they negotiate their new 'life world' especially for youth who are caught-up in a "doubliminal" stage(being a refugee and being youth, stage of double transitions)has never been examined.

My research will be looking at a comparative study of Sierra Leonean and Sudanese youth in Sydney to examine and understand this "doubliminality" and see how this might impact on their social integration in the Australian society.

Please check back for updates on this research.
