Migration and multiculturalism in a changing Australia
Migration is once again at the centre of Australian political and public debate, but claims about migrant numbers, composition and impact are not always borne out by the data.
As net overseas migration, housing pressures and questions of social cohesion continue to dominate headlines, how well does political and public discourse reflect the underlying facts? And how are Chinese-Australian communities, often a focal point in these debates, represented within it?
The Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS:ACRI), in partnership with the Chinese Australian Forum (CAF) will host an interactive forum exploring these questions.
The forum will feature Professor Wanning Sun, Deputy Director of UTS:ACRI; Dr Abul Rizvi, former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Immigration; and Osmond Chiu, Research Fellow at Per Capita. It will be chaired by Associate Professor Vanessa Chan, President of CAF.
This event is presented in partnership with the Chinese Australian Forum.
