"Bandaids in a Battlefield": ÌýThe Anthropology of Refugee and Asylum Seeker Support in ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog

Come along to thisÌýFriends of the LibraryÌýLunchtime Discovery event. Alison Reid was the winner of theÌý2022 Hugh Martin Weir PrizeÌýwhich is awarded to encourage study and research, including use of the Barr Smith Library collections, into any aspect of ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog's involvement in war, or the treatment of prisoners of war in any conflict, including the impact on those persons involved, their families, and/or their communities.

Alison has completed a PhD in Anthropology at ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide. Her research provides insight into the motivations and experiences of refugee and asylum seeker supporters who are often providing critical support to people who have fled circumstances of war, conflict, violence, torture, and trauma. It explores the impacts of experiences and responses to support work on organisational cultures in the advocacy sector as well as on grassroots community organisations and individuals. The purpose is to inform the development of practical strategies that organisations and individuals can adopt to enhance the well being and resilience of supporters working in this sector, leading to the sustainability of this important work.
