Summary: -- Louise Olliff is a social policy analyst and activist who has worked for NGOs in various research, policy, and advocacy roles in Australia, Cambodia, and Ghana since 2001. She demonstrates a strong commitment to social justice. -- The Indiana University Worlds in Crisis series is a newly established series at IU Press and will be a hub for groundbreaking work on the causes of, experiences within, and responses to forced migration. Focusing on refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and the aid system that surrounds them, the series will move beyond mere pathos to investigate the complexity of lived experiences of displacement. -- This is a strong contribution to the WIC series' focus on the lives of refugees, in this case those resettled from diverse backgrounds in Australia, Switzerland, Thailand, Indonesia, and Geneva, and its aim to explore the humanitarian aid industry around them. -- The target audience includes students and scholars studying forced migration, refugee studies, asylum seekers, humanitarianism, diasporas, and transnationalism. Humanitarian professionals, NGOs, and state policymakers may also be interested. |
