Arab/Muslim Australian Social Movements since the 1970s: a hidden history

该项目将是澳大利亚社会运动历史上被忽视但构成部分的第一个研究：阿拉伯/穆斯林澳大利亚社会正义行动主义。它的目的是恢复从1970年代至今从事反种族主义、反战和女权主义社会运动的阿拉伯/穆斯林澳大利亚活动家以前未开发的口述历史和罕见的档案收藏。预期成果包括对这一活动家社区如何与外部制度和内部冲突作斗争，以在多元文化的澳大利亚建立一个社会公正的未来的新知识。预期的社会和文化效益包括更好地了解社区的变革活动，这些社区的运动工作往往被置于边缘地位。

This project will be the first study of a neglected but constitutive part of Australia’s social movement history: Arab/Muslim Australian social justice activism. It aims to recover previously untapped oral histories and rare archival collections of Arab/Muslim Australian activists working in anti-racism, anti-war and feminist social movements from the 1970s to date. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about how this activist community has struggled against external systems and internal conflicts to build a socially just future in multicultural Australia. Anticipated social and cultural benefits include a greater understanding of the transformative activism of communities whose movement work is often relegated to the margins.
