Deepa Ranganathan A Guest in Someone Else’s House: The Construction of Asian Americans as Foreigners ABSTRACT Social workers, like many people, wrongly tend to think of Asian Americans as beings exempt from the problems of racism. The social work profession considers “race” to be a property inhering almost solely in African Americans. Meanwhile, the profession assigns the property of foreign “culture” primarily to Asian Americans. This thesis uses the work of Critical Race Theory (CRT) scholars to show that social workers, in presuming that Asian Americans are a class of people who are essentially foreign, are actually reproducing a form of exclusionist racism that Asian Americans have faced for generations. A partial solution to this problem might involve social workers’ educating themselves about way racism manifests in the lives of Asian Americans. However, this thesis relies on the work of several poststructuralist scholars to show that, to fulfill their ethical obligation to combat oppression, social workers must also know something of the way identity is constructed—how the power relations between those designated “normal” and those designated “other” mutually maintain a system of conflict and opposition that holds everyone in artificially fixed and limiting positions. -
Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Indonesia
Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Indonesia: Problems and Potentials Muzafar Ali Independent Researcher Linda Briskman Swinburne Institute for Social Research Lucy Fiske University of Technology Sydney Abstract Asylum seekers and refugees in Indonesia increasingly experience protracted waiting times for permanent settlement in other countries. They have few, if any, legal rights, coupled with extremely limited financial resources and no access to government provided services. In response to the prospect of living for many years in this difficult and liminal space, a small community of refugees in the West Java town of Cisarua has built relationships, skills and confidence among themselves and with host Indonesians to respond to identified needs. This paper outlines the main political and policy frameworks affecting the lives of refugees in Indonesia and then draws on research interviews and participant observation to illustrate the resilience and agency utilised by the community to mitigate uncertain futures. The major focus is on education for asylum seeker/refugee children. Introduction Increasingly protracted situations confront forced migrants in Indonesia. This cohort includes asylum seekers (awaiting determination of their refugee status) and those who have been granted asylum (refugees) who are awaiting third country resettlement1. The time of waiting can extend for several years and is marked by marginality – of attaining a level of immediate safety, but with no realisable rights beyond an assurance of non-deportation. Asylum seekers 1 At times the terms asylum seeker and refugee are used interchangeably in this paper, to reflect the literature and common usage.

Collaborations between these two areas are a recent development, yet a scientific basis for safety information is crucial to better understanding how to avoid and mitigate the hazard presented by rip currents. One such area is the field of swimmer escape strategies. Contemporary safety advice is divided on the relative merits of a ‘Stay Afloat’ versus ‘Swim Parallel’ strategy, yet conceptual understanding of both these strategies is largely based on an idealised model of rip current morphology and flow dynamics where channels are incised in shore-connected bars. -

Living in Australia
Unit 2 Place and liveability Living in Australia Both Indigenous Australians and early European settlers to Australia made decisions about where to live based on the availability of resources they needed to survive – things like water, food and shelter. The factors that influence where people live today are more varied. As well as needing access to food, water and shelter, people also choose where to live based on things like access to services (such as hospitals and schools), environmental quality (such as access to clean air and parklands) and safety. Connections to family, friends and places also influence where we live. Where we choose to live can also change over time due to a range of factors, such as work and property prices. In retirement, many people opt for a sea change or tree change to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. chapter Source 1 An oblique aerial photograph of the Melbourne showing the suburb of St Kilda in the foreground4 4A 4B DRAFT Where do Australians live and How do people connect why? to places? 1 What features shown in Source 1 tell you that many 1 What common interests or hobbies might people people live in the suburb of St Kilda? who live in St Kilda share? 2 Why do you think people choose to live in 2 How might the lifesavers at St Kilda Beach be St Kilda? considered a community of their own? 112 oxford big ideas humanities 7 victorian curriculum chapter 4 living in australia 113 4A Where do Australians live and why?
