The (Co) Production of Difference in the Care of Patients With Cancer From Migrant Backgrounds Broom, Alex; Parker, R; Raymond, Stephanie; Kirby, Emma; Lewis, Sophie; Kokanovic, Renata; Adams, Jonathon; de Souza, Paul; Woodland, Lisa; Wyld, D; Lwin, Z; Eng-Siew, Koh An extensive body of scholarship focuses on cultural diversity in health care, and this has resulted in a plethora of strategies to “manage” cultural difference. This work has often been patient-oriented (i.e., focused on the differences of the person being cared for), rather than relational in character. In this study, we aimed to explore how the difference was relational and coproduced in the accounts of cancer care professionals and patients with cancer who were from migrant backgrounds. Drawing on eight focus groups with 57 cancer care professionals and one-on-one interviews with 43 cancer patients from migrant backgrounds, we explore social relations, including intrusion and feelings of discomfort, moral logics of rights and obligation, and the practice of defaulting to difference. We argue, on the basis of these accounts, for the importance of approaching difference as relational and that this could lead to a more reflexive means for overcoming “differences” in therapeutic settings.

Hopeful dying? The meanings and practice of hope in palliative care family meetings Kirby, Emma; Broom, Alex; MacArtney, J; Lewis, Sophie; Good, P Hope can carry considerable allure for people facing imminent mortality and for those who care for them. Yet, how hope is variously and relationally (re)produced within end-of-life care settings, remains under-researched. In this study, we aimed to better understand hope as it circulates within palliative care, drawing on video recorded family meetings and pre- and post-meeting qualitative interviews, within two hospitals in Queensland, Australia. Our findings highlight family meetings as an important site for articulations of hope and hopefulness. The results illustrate how hope is recalibrated within the transition to and through palliative care, the tensions between hope and futility, and the work of hope in discussions of goals and expectations. Through our analysis we argue that hopefulness within family meetings, and in palliative care more broadly, is collectively produced and opens up discourses of hope to the lived experience of terminality. Attending to the nuances of hope, including moving beyond the determinative (hope for more life/hope for a quick death), can elucidate the possibilities and problems of the collective negotiation of hope at the end of life, including how hope can be drawn on to express support and solidarity.

Navigating and making choices about healthcare: The role of place Lewis, Sophie; Willis, Karen; Collyer, Fran In this paper, we examine the intersections between place and healthcare choice, drawing on Bourdieu's concepts of distinction and social space, and engaging with data from interviews with 78 Australians living in varied geographic locations. We find the status of an area is used to judge the quality of its healthcare services. Areas with high status are assumed to have better quality health services than areas of disadvantage. Where people live shapes the choices they make and their judgements about the status of a place. Moreover, having less choice is not necessarily problematic. Participants in regional and remote areas with less choice tend to report positive experiences with healthcare providers. Place can constrain people's ability to make good healthcare choices, yet participants have differing capacities to mobilise resources to overcome the constraints of place.

Comparative moral economies of crisis Manning, Benjamin; Browne, Craig At times of crisis, existing institutional arrangements of societies are thrown into question. Crises that occur in multiple societies simultaneously present rare opportunities for comparative empirical analysis. Social theory can reveal the framing conditions of the responses to crises and the sources of variations between them. This paper compares the immediate responses of the Australian, UK and US governments to the global COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with regard to financing lockdowns, and points out significant differences between the three approaches. Drawing on Polanyi’s method of institutional analysis, we compare the responses of these same national groups to an earlier crisis, the Japanese prisoner of war camps during the Second World War, to show similar patterns of integration recurring eight decades apart. This analysis shows that aspects of moral economies that are not usually apparent can become pronounced during crises, and points to the importance of enduring social imaginaries.

A law unto themselves: on the relatively autonomous operation of protest policing during the COVID-19 pandemic Martin, Greg A central argument of this article is that the exercise of police power in respect of protests is relatively autonomous of judicial pronouncements affirming or upholding rights of free speech and peaceful public assembly. Using mostly Australian examples, but also drawing on UK material and some American references, the article shows how protests have gone ahead regardless of prohibitions on mass gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic. In New South Wales, courts have sometimes allowed protests to proceed when public health experts have assessed the risk to community transmission of coronavirus to be sufficiently low. Notwithstanding that, as they did prior to the pandemic, police have moved to prevent protests and repress protestors. Accordingly, the article takes issue with the ‘negotiated management’ model of protest policing, which perpetuates a fiction of police-protestor cooperation. Indeed, protest policing has often been conflictual and heavy-handed, even militaristic, which, paradoxically, has sometimes led to potential breaches of COVID-19-safe protocols. The article concludes by highlighting analogies between the COVID-19 crisis and the ‘war on terror’ following 9/11, including the role played by courts in attempting to limit the concentration of executive power, government overreach, and intensification of police powers under a paradigm of security.

Practicing what we teach: Experiential learning in higher education that cuts both ways Valiente-Riedl, Elisabeth; Anderson, Leticia; Banki, Susan As innovative pedagogies such as experiential learning unsettle traditional assumptions about tertiary teaching, a deeper understanding of how teachers experience such shifts is required. Whilst the literature emphasizes that effective experiential learning should entail transformative educational experiences for students, less attention is paid to the implications for educators. Through a collaborative autoethnographic approach, this research explores the experience of three tertiary educators delivering experiential learning in human rights education and highlights their process of transformative learning, which produced changes in their professional identities. Drawing on scholarship of experiential and transformative learning, we argue that the delivery of experiential learning initiates a process of critical self-reflection that can prompt educator transformation into not only facilitator, as commonly depicted in the literature, but also co-learner. As such, a deep shift in educator identities may also occur, adding a layer of transformation in experiential learning that remains neglected in the literature.

Entanglements of affect, space, and evidence in pandemic healthcare: An analysis of Australian healthcare workers’ experiences of COVID-19 Williams Veazey, Leah; Broom, Alex; Kenny, Katherine; Degeling, Chris; Hor, Suyin; Broom, Jennifer; Wyer, Mary; Burns, Penelope; Gilbert, Gwendolyn L The COVID-19 pandemic continues to highlight both global interconnectedness and schisms across place, context and peoples. While countries such as Australia have securitised their borders in response to the global spread of disease, flows of information and collective affect continue to permeate these boundaries. Drawing on interviews with Australian healthcare workers, we examine how their experiences of the pandemic are shaped by affect and evidence 'traveling' across time and space. Our analysis points to the limitations of global health crisis responses that focus solely on material risk and spatial separation. Institutional responses must, we suggest, also consider the affective and discursive dimensions of health-related risk environments.

How can social scientists interrogate the role of the World Bank in shaping 'global health' in the current era? MAIN BODY: As a group of historians, social scientists, and public health officials with experience studying the effects of the institution's investment in health, we identify three challenges to this research. First, a future research agenda requires recognizing that the Bank is not a monolith, but rather has distinct inter-organizational groups that have shaped investment and discourse in complicated, and sometimes contradictory, ways. Second, we must consider how its influence on health policy and investment has changed significantly over time. Third, we must analyze its modes of engagement with other institutions within the global health landscape, and with the private sector. The unique relationships between Bank entities and countries that shape health policy, and the Bank's position as a center of research, permit it to have a formative influence on health economics as applied to international development. Addressing these challenges, we propose a future research agenda for the Bank's influence on global health through three overlapping objects of and domains for study: knowledge-based (shaping health policy knowledge), governance-based (shaping health governance), and finance-based (shaping health financing). We provide a review of case studies in each of these categories to inform this research agenda. CONCLUSIONS: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, and as state and non-state actors work to build more inclusive and robust health systems around the world, it is more important than ever to consider how to best document and analyze the impacts of Bank's financial and technical investments in the Global South.

"Learning alone-a with Corona": two challenges and four principles of tertiary teaching Banki, Susan Rachel Purpose The author offers two challenges and four principles to teaching in the tertiary sector during this pandemic. While others may focus on the challenge of technical delivery, the author notes the challenges of systemic student disengagement. The author attempts to correct for this in four ways. She argues that the challenges she identifies and the principles that can be deployed in response are applicable across a range of teaching contexts and can be adapted for a post-COVID-19 era. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on the author's phenomenological experience teaching in the context of COVID-19 and draws as well on the sociological literature of higher education teaching. Findings Four principles emerged from a year of successful teaching during COVID-19. First, the author embraces a pedagogy of care, which reflects a genuine concern for student well-being. Second, the author utilizes a variety of technological approaches to keep students engaged. Third, she retains a flexible approach to teaching. Fourth, she considers carefully the extent to which COVID-19 is included, and excluded, from topical discussions. On this point she argues that COVID-19 should neither be the center point of any material, nor should it be ignored completely. Originality/value Shocks to the tertiary education system will continue to recur, as will instances of systemic student disengagement. Effective correctives to such disengagement, drawn from both education theory and empirical experience, will continue to be of value.

In this paper, I point out the country’s most glaring structural challenges and link these to its most pressing human rights problems. A brief section about Myanmar in the context of COVID-19offers the same conclusion as the rest of the article: while there is variance in the actors targeted and the degree of suppression, the underlying patterns of oppression remain unchanged over time.

Political Business Cycles in Australia Elections and Party Ideology Kolios, Bill Party ideology, elections and economic performance can have a significant impact on the overall economic performance. Governments are formed by parties that compete at elections and, based on their ideology, have different preferences regarding the size and scope of government. With respect to economic policy, left-wing parties advocate for government intervention in order to ease the effects of the business cycle whilst right-wing parties favour market solutions as a response to economic fluctuations. According to the partisan theory, left-wing parties are more willing to adopt expansionary fiscal and monetary policies when in government, as they are mainly concerned with employment. On the opposite side, right-wing parties prioritize inflation and fiscal discipline as objectives. Both left-wing and right-wing parties understand the impact that the economy has on their re-election prospects. When in government, in order to maximize their probability of being re-elected, all parties will try and make voters believe that their economic policies were successful. How the electorate will react to this behaviour depends on its ability to understand and predict the impact of current policies on future welfare. In this paper we examine the influence of government ideology and elections on the economy. Using quarterly data for government consumption, money supply, taxation and welfare expenditure, we find that both partisan and opportunistic political cycles characterize Australian politics thus confirming the insights put forward by Nordhaus, W.D. (1975. “The Political Business Cycle.” The Review of Economic Studies 42 (2): 169–190.) and Hibbs, D. (1977. “Political Parties and Macroeconomic Policy.” The American Political Science Review 7: 1467–1487).

The Transformation of Homeland Politics in the Era of Resettlement: Bhutanese refugees in Nepal and the diaspora Banki, Susan This article examines how resettled Bhutanese refugees who lived in refugee camps in Nepal for two decades perceive, understand, and interact with their “home” country of Bhutan in the political sphere. It draws on initial field research (of a larger, six-year longitudinal project) of Bhutanese refugees who remain in Nepal and who have resettled in the diaspora. The first part of the paper will review the theories that might predict resettlement political engagement as categorized by the author (declining, continuing, shifting, and reformed). After a brief discussion of methods, the article will then review the context of refugeehood and resettlement for refugees from Bhutan, and will then compare homeland politics in the preresettlement and resettlement phases. The article concludes that homeland politics has continued in the resettlement era, although in somewhat altered form.

"We are the victims of the separation": A report on Bhutanese refugees remaining in Nepal Banki, Susan; Phillips, Nicole In the early 1990s tens of thousands of Lhotshampas, ethnic Nepalese from the southern region of Bhutan, fled their homeland through India and sought refuge in Nepal. More than 100,000 refugees lived in camps in eastern Nepal in a protracted situation for 18 years until 2008, when several countries of the Global North announced that they would begin a program of mass resettlement and take the Bhutanese refugees out of Nepal. It has now been more than five years since the process of mass resettlement was initiated. There are 88,841 Bhutanese refugees who have already resettled to third countries and 28,735 remaining in the camps. Of the remaining population, 7,206 refugees have not indicated any interest in resettlement.1 This report focuses on the voices of the people who do not wish to resettle, and thus includes refugee perspectives that may be critical of resettlement. The analysis undertaken in this report, however, is in no way meant to diminish the option of resettlement as a valuable, indeed a critical, solution. The report merely aims to shed light on the opinions of those refugees who do not plan to resettle so that their voices will not be forgotten or relegated to ‘old news.’

The Paradoxical Power of Precarity: Refugees and Homeland Activism Banki, Susan This paper offers a theoretical treatment of the argument that refugees who live in situations of varying precarity are uniquely positioned for transnational political action focused on reforming the home country from which they have fled. The paper undertakes four tasks. First, it explores classical social movement concepts to explain mobilisation of the refugee population. Second, it offers a typological and theoretical treatment of refugee transnational space, arguing that current typologies fail to capture the nuance of refugee transnational sites. Third, it develops a concept of refugee precarity as an alternate model for understanding transnational political space. Fourth, the paper hypothesizes as to the relationship between precarity and various elements of mobilisation. The paper suggests that precarity and mobilisation are correlated, indicating the paradoxical power of precarity for refugee activists. It concludes with implications for both researchers and policymakers.

Urbanity, Precarity, and Homeland Activism. Burmese Migrants in Global Cities. Banki, Susan This article interrogates the link between urbanity and ‘precarity of place’ for non-citizen populations, relying on evidence drawn from the transnational homeland activities of Burmese migrants in two global cities (Bangkok and Tokyo). First, the article builds upon literatures of precarity and global cities to detail the complexity of urban spaces in relation to migration, and draws upon understandings of political mobilisation to explain homeland activism among non-citizen populations. It then focuses respectively on Bangkok and Tokyo, demonstrating the ways in which migrants from Burma of varying precarity utilise or forgo urban structures in each city. The article concludes that precarity does not necessarily reduce homeland activism, but may change its outward appearance. Urban structures, to a greater or lesser extent, influence that relationship.

Leaving in Droves from the Orange Groves: The NepaliBhutanese Refugee Experience and the Diminishing of Dignity Banki, Susan; Phillips, Nicole Refugee situations can pose a threat to dignity due to the loss of land and livelihood. This chapter however argues that dignity is dynamic, and that autonomy and normalcy can play a role in restoring dignity at different stages of the refugee experience. We begin by exploring two theoretical dignity dichotomies, and then examine autonomy and normalcy as two of dignity’s overlooked antecedents. We proceed to the case of Nepali-Bhutanese refugees, and show how dignity, rather than remaining in a steady state, waxes and wanes over time. Before concluding we offer some thoughts as to how dignity can be restored in the post-resettlement context.

Settling refugees in Australia: achievements and challenges Fozdar, Farida; Banki, Susan This article examines the extent to which Australia fulfils its legal obligations for resettled refugees. This necessitates noting both the international frameworks that inform the rights accorded to refugees as well as applicable Australian law and policies. But while laws provide us with a point of departure, a thorough analysis of how these laws are upheld in the refugee context requires a focus on the lived experience of settlement, and identification of where law, policy and practice are disjoint and where they conjoin. The paper concludes by noting the opportunities provided by, and limitations of, law and policy, as means to facilitate integration of resettled refugees, and offers some thoughts on how refugee resettlement in Australia might be improved.

‘Finally an academic approach that prepares you for the real world’: simulations for human rights skills development in higher education McGaughey, Fiona; Hartley, Lisa; Banki, Susan; Duffill, Paul; Stubbs, Matthew; Orchard, Phil; Rice, Simon; Berg, Laurie; Peggy Kerdo, Paghona Effectively addressing violations of human rights requires dealing with complex, multi-spatial problems involving actors at local, national and international levels. It also calls for a diverse range of inter-disciplinary skills. How can tertiary educators prepare students for such work? This study evaluates the coordinated implementation of human rights simulations at seven Australian universities. Based on quantitative and qualitative survey data from 252 students, we find they report that human rights simulation exercises develop their skills. In particular, students report that they feel better able to analyse and productively respond to human rights violations, and that they have a greater awareness of the inter-disciplinary skills required to do so. Overall, this study finds that simulations are a valid, scalable, classroom-based work integrated learning experience that can be adapted for students at undergraduate and postgraduate level, across a range of disciplines and in both face-to-face and online classes.

Bhutanese Refugees in Nepal: Anticipating the Impact of Resettlement Banki, Susan When refugees resettle to new countries, populations left behind are affected. These include remaining camp residents, political leaders and local residents. This report presents a preliminary forecast of the impacts to remaining populations of the mass resettlement of Bhutanese refugees currently residing in Nepal. In summary, the forecast is mixed for the remaining population, with some aspects of life expected to improve while other elements may worsen. As resettlement moves forward, morale has wavered between hopeful and tense. There have been violent and even fatal clashes between refugees who oppose resettlement and those who support it. This has resulted in a highly charged camp atmosphere in which hope, resentment, and anxiety have all played significant roles. A lack of information about the resettlement process is compounded by the reluctance of many refugees to show an interest in resettlement for fear of being attacked. As large numbers of refugees depart from the camps, common resources (such as firewood) will be more readily available and camp facilities less overcrowded. At the same time, the likely depletion of educated, skilled and experienced workers could reduce the quality of camp services, particularly in the health and education sectors. Overseas remittances will likely increase as refugees resettle to richer countries. However, informal income from regional or local work may decrease as educated and skilled refugees resettle early. Spates of violent attacks associated with the advent of resettlement in and near the refugee camps represent a clear deterioration of the security environment. In response, the Government of Nepal has brought in a larger police presence, which may reduce overall crime but could simultaneously lead to a more restrictive environment in which refugees cannot travel outside of the camps. Bhutanese political leaders fear that resettlement will dilute the efforts of refugees who continue to promote political reform in Bhutan, as their cause loses its urgency and its constituents. Conversely, resettlement may lead to an injection of resources and media attention for political leaders. For local residents living near the camps in Nepal, the departure of large numbers of refugees will decrease competition for local resources and employment. In the long-term, however, resettlement will lead to a contraction of the local economy and a reduction in the pool of available human capital.
