I'm in Perth this week for The Australian Sociological Association's annual conference - one of my favourite events of the academic year. Looking forward to a wonderful week re/connecting with colleagues from across Australian sociology. If you're at #TASA2024 too, please come and say hi! 👋

New article from me and Amy Nethery in The Conversation this morning.

Our team at the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies, USyd, is recruiting a new postdoc to work on a sociological study of death, dying & bereavement. This would be a dream job for the right person - meaningful work, brilliant supervisors, & all within a genuinely caring & collaborative environment

Yesterday, our team received an ARC LP23 grant to investigate the long-term impacts of immigration detention in the lives of people who were detained as children. Profoundly grateful for the opportunity to do this work. Sincerest thanks to everyone who made this possible 🙏

Thanks Andrew. And thanks for your support over so many years. We're incredibly excited! And very hopeful about the impact this project might be able to make
