ItemHow do Australia-based migrants help in times of crisis? A case study of diaspora responses to the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcanic eruption and tsunami(School of Social and Political Science, The University of Melbourne, 2023-08)In 2022, researchers from the University of Melbourne undertook a project exploring how Australia-based migrants (diasporas) help in times of humanitarian crises overseas. The project involved community researchers from eight diaspora communities (Afghanistan, Indonesia, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nepal, Pacific Islands, South Sudan and Syria) to co-design methodology, engage communities and collect data to find out how, why and what was done by communities in Australia in response to specific crises or events. The project aims to better understand the strengths and challenges faced by Australia-based migrants responding to different kinds of crises (disasters, conflicts and complex crises), and to identify potential tools that can support diaspora communities in their responses in the future.

ItemHow Australians are represented in Wikipedia( 2023)Nationality, biography, Australianness: these are topics beset with complexities and politics before we even get to Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, further complexities arise. Even getting to the point of being able to map Wikipedia's representation over time requires understanding which biographies on Wikipedia refer to Australians. This involves further questions: who counts as Australian in Wikipedia and its sister-projects? How are Wikipedia articles or Wikidata items marked as 'Australian' by the system? How does Wikipedia define or represent 'Australianness'? In this report, we address these questions using a dataset of biographical articles culled from English Wikipedia with the aim of revealing the definition of 'Australianness' implicit in Wikipedia's systems and assessing how well Wikipedia represents the diversity of Australians. To address these questions and complexities, we used an innovative methodology which is explored in-depth in the report Appendix for all those data fiends out there.
