The potential contribution of our work for research, government policy and the institutions that work with and support refugees is significant\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n

Nation of Refuge project is far removed from an ivory tower approach to research. It\u2019s about knowledge exchange, community engagement and the voices of people with lived experience. And we\u2019ll bring archive material alive through making it visible and talking about it in the mainstream.’<\/em><\/p>\n
