Multi-locality in demography
The notion of a single place of usual residence is firmly embedded in demographic statistics. There is a growing recognition that many people inhabit a "network of places" including digital nomads, second homeowners and the "houseless". This project seeks to interrogate the concept of mulitlocality and it's implications for demography.

Internally displaced people in Australia
Climate change is likely to increase the frequency and severity of natural hazards in Australia, leading to the temporary and permanent displacement of individuals. This project seeks to understand the impacts of natural hazards such as bush fires and floods on migration patterns in Australia and their implications for communities and regions.
