Did you know that ‘almost half of Australians have a parent born overseas’? (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022)
Since 1999, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, also known as Harmony Day, is celebrated in Australia. As a part of Australia’s multicultural society, Griffith Library is committed to creating a sense of belonging for everyone, regardless of their background.
A core value of Griffith is to foster a sense of belonging and community. You can learn more about our commitment to social inclusion at the Griffith Centre Social Cultural Research webpage.
We also have a diversity of social and cultural research in our Griffith Research Online (GRO) repository. Here are just a few examples:
- Please Explain!’–public perception of students with diversity in mainstream education as voiced in Australian online news media
- Social inclusion, and the power of being ‘seen’ and ‘heard’
- Teacher education and teaching for diversity: a call to action
You can explore more social and cultural research content via GRO.
The Library supports the study of diversity and social inclusion, you can find extensive resources in the collection via the Library catalogue. Not sure where to get started? Have a look at these library guides:
