▼ AIM: It is the aim of this study to understand how and why South Sudanese women living in refugee settlements in Adjumani look for treatment in regard to Tuberculosis (TB), by answering the main question ‘What are the health beliefs and health-seeking behaviour within the South Sudanese community in Adjumani district in regard to Tuberculosis?’. The sub-questions focus on different factors that influence health-seeking behaviour and health beliefs. METHODS: Focus group discussions (FGDs) (15) and individual interviews (3) with South Sudanese women were held in different refugee settlements in the Adjumani district in Northern Uganda. These were transcribed and analysed through ‘open’, ‘axial’ and ‘selective’ coding. Also, respondents were asked to draw something TB related, to make a visual interpretation of their knowledge about TB. By using Seale’s (2008) scheme, factors that influence health beliefs and health-seeking behaviour were formulated to answer the main question. Additionally, the district TB focal person was interviewed. RESULTS: The main health beliefs were that TB is a contagious disease which is mainly transmitted through sharing a cup with an infected person and that it is curable. Still, in more than half of the FGDs respondents said TB is caused by other factors (such as heavy work or fear) and in about one third of the FGDs no respondents mentioned the early symptoms of TB. In more than half of FGDs respondents said they would isolate someone with TB. The health-seeking behaviour of the respondents was commendable, since all respondents sought to find treatment when necessary. However, the majority would end up looking for treatment at a private clinic or a distant health facility, since the closest health facility would not provide them with medicine or the treatment they were expecting. In one in five of the FGDs a respondent mentioned self-treatment in the form of finishing old medication or using local herbs. The main factors that influence health beliefs about TB in this study are body perception, perception of susceptibility, supernatural beliefs, levels of education and familiarity with TB. The main factors that influence health-seeking behaviour are experiences with health care in Uganda, distance to the health facility, familiarity with TB, compliance and identity. CONCLUSION: To conclude, even though the health beliefs and perceptions about TB among the South Sudanese women were often different from medical or professional points of view, the health seeking behaviour was very much present and the South Sudanese women were willing to find treatment whenever they considered it necessary. Nevertheless, due to bad experiences with the health facilities, which was mainly about frequent drug-stock-outs, bad attitude of health workers, lay-professional rivalry and inappropriate testing machines, the South Sudanese mothers believe that the district’s health facilities are often unable to make a proper diagnosis. With the insecurity of how the conflict in South Sudan will continue, it will… Advisors/Committee Members: Dekker, Marleen (advisor), Akinyoade, Akinyinka (advisor).

▼ Over the last ten years, more than 20,000 Sudanese refugees have resettled in Australia and have been granted permanent residency. This new cohort of refugees has entered Australia via the federal government’s offshore component of the Refugee and Humanitarian Programme, sanctioned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Although there exists a cluster of discourse analytic work that examines debates surrounding asylum seekers that arrive by boat (often labelled as ‘illegal immigrants’), there is a dearth of discursive psychological work that analyses how humanitarian refugees are constructed in political and everyday talk. This thesis addresses that gap by examining how humanitarian refugees, entering Australia under the auspices of the government, are represented and accounted for in public discourse and conversation. Employing a critical discursive psychological approach, this thesis analyses political interviews and lay talkback radio calls, to examine in close detail some of the manifold rhetorical practices that speakers deploy when constructing and advancing arguments that represent Sudanese refugees as ostensibly ‘different’. The first Chapter of this thesis introduces previous critical discursive research on refugees and asylum seekers in Australia, The United Kingdom, Spain and Canada. This literature suggests that refugees and asylum seekers are accounted for as ‘illegal’; as constituting a ‘threat’ to the nations they seek refuge in, and as ‘deviant’. These representations are argued to question the legitimacy of refugees’ claims for asylum, and thereby justifying punitive policies of exclusion. I also discuss how preconceptions of the nation-state underpin much of the discourse of delegitimation and threat instantiated in the reviewed research. Chapter 2 provides an overview¹ of the methodology employed in this thesis. Employing a ‘synthetic’ (Wetherell, 1998) critical social psychological approach, I delineate how I came to chose this epistemology and discuss some of the assumptions it holds in relations to language. I also discuss the institutional settings and data that the four analytic Chapters give attention to. Chapter 3, the first analytic Chapter, analyses political interviews with the former minister for Immigration and Citizenship of Australia, Kevin Andrews. Specifically, I examine how causal attributions function to build arguments that justify a reduction in the humanitarian quota for Sudanese refugees. This Chapter reformulates the traditional social-cognitive approach to causal attributions, and treats causality as a discursive resource: as a matter for speakers and hearers to orientate to and deploy for rhetorical purposes, functioning to attribute blame for ‘ntegration problems’ squarely on Sudanese refugees themselves. The close links between language, and its role in constructing justifications for punitive immigration policy, is well illustrated here. In Chapter 4, the second analytic Chapter, I examine how speakers on talkback radio orientate to what I have… Advisors/Committee Members: Augoustinos, Martha (advisor), School of Psychology (school).

▼ This research focuses on changes to family as experienced by men and women from south Sudanese backgrounds who have resettled in Melbourne. The study investigated factors that have influenced change, documenting experiences that are unique as well those common amongst participants. Concurrently the study investigated experiences of accessing community and government services for assistance with family related difficulties and sought the opinions of participants on how services could be improved to better meet the needs of families from south Sudan living in Melbourne. The findings reveal how gender, age and personal agency each contributes to how family is experienced by individuals. Although some experiences were shared by participants within gender and age groups, others were not, demonstrating the importance in non-essentialising all people from the same ethnic or cultural background in research and community service development with refugee groups. The findings illustrate three factors influencing change; interactions with Australian social environments, transnational ties to kin and concurrent south Sudanese culture in Africa and interactions within the local south Sudanese ‘community’ in Melbourne. These influences impacted on how participants understood and participated within their families in Australia, placing them in unique and often conflictual situations, which are mostly unrecognised by Australian service providers. The community-based collaborative research approach undertaken for the study models the practice approaches suggested in the findings; namely, the importance of working both with refugee ‘communities’ and within their existing structures, which may sit outside traditional service sectors and research settings. If researchers, policy makers and service practitioners adopt collaborative approaches to practice, they are more likely to establish positive working relationships with people from refugee backgrounds, ultimately leading to service provision that is more appropriate and therefore more helpful.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Background: Refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, constitute a significant percentage of refugees globally that continue to settle in Australia and other western countries. The dualism of African pluralistic medicine and western scientific biomedicine is no more obvious than when comparing beliefs concerning psychiatric aetiology. Ethno-culture, religion and spirituality are recognised to heavily influence indigenous beliefs concerning mental illness. However, there is minimal research addressing how this dualism and complex interface between phenomenologically constructed African belief systems, and scientifically rationalised conventional western medicine, influence African refugees’ help-seeking behaviour on settlement in a western country. Aim: The aim of this critical ethnographic study was to gain an understanding of how the health beliefs of refugees from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan influence attribution of mental illness and help-seeking behaviour on settlement in Australia. Method and analysis: The study used semi-structured interviewing, naturalistic participatory and non-participatory observation. Data were obtained from three sources: 1) African refugees that entered Australia via the offshore humanitarian program; 2) specialist workers in cross-cultural and refugee health; and 3) African diaspora registered health professionals practicing in Australia and native to one the aforementioned African countries. Data saturation was achieved at 35 interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and subjected to a four-step process of thematic analysis using NVivo 10 software. Internal validity was addressed through triangulation of the data and the use of a cultural informants group of community leaders who advised on issues surrounding lexical, contextual and conceptual equivalence. Findings: The study identified four main themes and a number of sub-themes. Each theme constitutes a significant intercultural tension point that acts as a barrier to therapeutic engagement between African refugees and mainstream Australian mental health services. Collectively, the tension points create an impervious barrier to the penetration of western psychoeducation within the Ethiopian, Somali, Sudanese and South Sudanese refugee communities. The four major themes are: 1.Tension between African spiritual explanatory concepts and western theories of mental illness 2.Tension between faith-based and western biopsychosocial models of treatment and recovery 3.Tension between African culture, language and belief systems on the individual’s health literacy and engagement with western mental health services 4.Tension between African cultural collective and western individualistic orientation and effect on health and mental wellbeing. Discussion: The majority of refugees from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan were not engaging with mainstream mental health services until they are acutely unwell. Their explanatory…

▼ Increasingly people move across borders in attempts to resettle in unfamiliar environments. Often these people are refugees, fleeing familiar settings due to conflict, war, political persecution or environmental changes. In their new location, they are expected to integrate and develop a sense of belonging. This integration is mainly concerned with a two-way process of adapting and settling, with measurable outcomes such as citizenship, employment, political participation, housing and access to welfare (Ager and Strang, 2008:26; Atfield et al., 2007; Castles et al., 2002). Belonging is often discussed as the expected end-result of this integration process where a sense of shared values and understanding is cultivated (Vasta, 2009), a sense of home, community and acceptance is achieved (Hamaz and Vasta, 2009); and feelings of connectedness realised (Atfield et al., 2007). This thesis argues that analyses of integration and belonging are intertwined, combining structural outcomes of an integration process and the emotional aspects of belonging. Integration is analysed as an experience for new arrivals, while belonging is analysed as the affective state of this experience. The research examines the experiences of South Sudanese Australians establishing their new lives in Canberra, Australia. Data was gathered through face-to-face interviews as well as observation and participation. I use Ager and Strang's (2008) theoretical framework of integration where ten 'domains' are identified to analyse possible outcomes. Into this framework I introduce the concept of belonging as the emotional aspect, which involves the interplay between self, agency and structural positioning (Hamaz and Vasta, 2009). The majority of participants' narratives revealed that integration and belonging occur when people feel a sense of equal opportunity in quotidian and mutual interactions with others. Experiences of recognition and mutuality emerged as essential for the development of a sense of belonging in the participants' narratives. These experiences differed among the participants, particularly with regard to their gendered position within social structures. Through emphasizing the co-constitution of integration and belonging, and the interdependence between self, agency and structural position, my data revealed how experiences of mutuality in social relations (social capital) can lead to a sense of common belonging in a new country.

Southern Sudanese left their country to escape the civil war between Southern Sudanese and the Northern dominated government. The civil war began intermittently in 1955 and continuously in 1983. The civil war ended in 2003 and has resulted in the death of 2 million and the displacement of four million Southern Sudanese (UNHCR, 2001). The lives of the Southern Sudanese refugees have not been easy after resettlement, especially the lives of women. Many Southern Sudanese women have experienced violence and rape during the civil war in Sudan and in refugee camps and have lived in fear of such violence (Tankink & Richters, 2007). The resettlement of Southern Sudanese women refugees into a society that is geographically and culturally different has been challenging. The dissertation indicated that adjustment to a new culture is a difficult process for many women refugees. (Sullivan & Deacon, 2009), (Martin, 2004). Barriers that hinder the adjustment process include racial and cultural discrimination against women refugees in the host society. Women refugees are likely to face racism and sexism in seeking employment or vocational training in their host country. There also personal barriers that hinder the adjustment process for refugee women. These barriers include trauma, lack of language skills and vocational skills, and cultural differences (Martin, 2004). In general, there is a little literature that focuses on the African refugee resettlement experience in the US (Boas, 2007), (khawaja, et al, 2008) and there are less literature on Southern Sudanese women refugees and their overall adjustment in their new environments. This study expands the understanding of the Southern Sudanese women refugees’ experiences and the barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals. The significance of the study lies in its search for a deeper understanding of the process through which Southern Sudanese women refugees attempt to balance their life demands as they are integrating to American norms and values. This area of knowledge, based on the experiences of Southern Sudanese women as they settled in Minnesota brings increasing awareness of the particular needs of Southern Sudanese refugee women. This will also assist service providers, educators, and policy makers in developing best practices when working with Southern Sudanese women refugees This is a qualitative study research used narrative analysis. For this qualitative research, a purposive sample of 7 Southern Sudanese refugee women was selected to participate in the study. Two methods of recruitment were used; first through nominative sample and second through the resettlement agencies and adult education centers in Minnesota. Strict measures to ensure that participants were protected from any…

▼ This thesis examines the development of resilience among young Sudanese refugees in Western Sydney and how the accumulative nature of resilience contributes to their ability to settle effectively in Australia. For young Sudanese people, resilience is best explored as a set of common and accumulative capacities for recovery, adaptability and growth in relation to experiences of trauma, adversity and hardship in Sudan, en route to Australia, and during settlement in Australia. A defining feature of resilience among Sudanese young people relates to their ability to reinterpret and draw upon “negative” experiences as productive cultural resources, which assists in the acquisition of new educational and vocational skills, knowledges and competencies. Resilience is not a clearly defined category or destination, and as such, the assumption that there are universal or predetermined pathways to some irreversible, absolute state of resilience is problematic. In drawing on Bourdieu’s emphasis on the cumulative nature of human capacities, this thesis argues that resilience accumulation is multi-directional and multi-sourced in terms of being highly contingent on pre- and post-arrival migration trajectories. Critiquing the early psychological discourse on resilience that defines the phenomenon largely as an individual trait or set of behaviours, this thesis highlights the interaction between the individual and the sociocultural aspects of resilience. In conceptualising resilience as a broad ‘meta-capacity’, each chapter explores various sub-components and supporting practices that feed into processes of resilience accumulation. These sub-components attend to key debates around the present- and future-orientation of hopefulness, as discussed by Parse (1999), Hage (2002b) and Zournazi (2002), universalising Western modes and models for classifying and treating trauma, Ahmed (2004) and Probyn’s (1996) emphasis on the affective nature of societal belonging, Bottrell’s (2007, 2009b) conceptualisation of resistance as a form of resilience, Agier’s (2002) ethnographic investigation of symbolic and material resourcefulness among refugee camp inhabitants, as well as the work of Baldassar (2008) and Velayutham and Wise (2005) on transnational obligations, return migration and home visits. Drawing largely on qualitative, face-to-face interviews with young Sudanese people and other relevant community stakeholders, I argue that these sub-components and the broader capacity for resilience are realised through the symbolic ideal and pragmatic acquisition of educational capabilities. “Successful” educational transition and participation is predicated on the acquisition of relevant and valued skills, knowledge and capacities, which can help young people achieve their educational and vocational aspirations as well as participate in caregiving relationships within and across a number of social fields.

▼ This dissertation is a comparative, ethnographic study of Southern Sudanese and Bosnian refugees and social service organizations in Fargo, North Dakota. I examine how refugee resettlement staff, welfare workers, and volunteers attempted to transform refugee clients into "worthy" citizens through neoliberal policies aimed at making them economically self-sufficient and independent from the state. Refugees' engagement with resettlement and welfare agencies and volunteers depended on their positioning in social hierarchies in their home countries and in the United States. Refugees had widely variable political, educational, cultural, and employment histories, but many had survived war and/or forced migration and had contact with many of the same institutions and employers. Bosnians in Fargo were either white, ethnic Muslims (Bosniaks), or Roma (Gypsies), who had a darker skin color and were stigmatized by Bosniaks. By interrogating intersections of race, class, gender, and culture, I explain why social service providers and the wider public deemed Bosnian Roma as some of the least "worthy" citizens in Fargo and black, Christian Southern Sudanese as some of the worthiest citizens. In so doing, I highlight the important roles of religion, hard work, education, and civic duty as characteristics of "good" citizens in Fargo. The dissertation is based on a year of ethnographic research in Fargo (2007-08). It also builds on previous research with Roma in Bosnia (1998-2000) and employment with a resettlement agency in South Dakota (2001-2002). I relate this analysis to anthropological theories of the state with a particular focus on refugee resettlement in the context of the neoliberal welfare state. Following Harrell- Bond's argument that refugees are often portrayed as mere "recipients of aid," I argue for a more nuanced understanding of refugees as active citizens in Fargo. I view refugee resettlement organizations, welfare agencies, and volunteers as powerful actors in shaping refugees' lives, but I also take into account the ways in which refugees in turn shaped these actors. I show how refugee resettlement called into question hegemonic forms of citizenship in the relatively culturally and racially homogenous city of Fargo.

▼ This thesis is submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of M.A. Cross-Cultural & International Education and M.Ed. in Curriculum & Teaching. Violent civil conflict in the African nation of Sudan created a humanitarian crisis which necessitated involvement and support from the international community, resulting in the resettlement of many Sudanese refuges to the United States. Much of the research on refugee populations has failed to take into account the gendered nature of the refugee experience. This is especially true of the Sudanese refugee population, in which the experiences of men have been well documented, earning them recognitions as the Lost Boys of Sudan; while their female counterparts have remained, for the most, part voiceless. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how Sudanese refugee women perceive and interpret their experiences in formal education programs and how these experiences influence the resettlement process. This study addresses gaps in the literature by providing insight into the lived experiences of nine Sudanese refugee women as they reflect on their education experiences. The findings of this study indicate that refugee women have unique needs during the resettlement process. In addition to the need to learn the language of the country of resettlement, find a job and adjust to social and cultural norms, the Sudanese refugee women in this study also expressed a strong need to establish relationships, gain economic independence, and find a sense of hope in the future. The findings of this study suggest that participating in formal education can assist Sudanese refugee women in the resettlement process by fulfilling many of these needs. Formal education provided the Sudanese refugee women in this study with language and occupational skills, in addition to, and most significantly, a sense of empowerment and the agency necessary for them to redefine their lives and advocate for social change.

▼ The main purpose of my thesis is to understand, from the perspectives of Southern Sudanese themselves, their resettlement experiences in Australia, to provide knowledge about how their experiences of exile reshape their thinking of home, place, identity, gender roles, and traditional practices, to explore the extent of their resettlement and integration into Australian society, and to inform policy on the resettlement of refugees and the settlement services offered to them. The thesis explores the range of interactions and relationships among Southern Sudanese and between them and their Australian hosts. It demonstrates how these interactions and relationships shaped and reshaped the Southern Sudanese sense of identity and belonging in resettlement in Australia. The thesis also provides insights into the relationships between the war that forced them out of their homeland, their flight, life in refugee camp or in exile, and how these affected their ability to resettle. To understand these, I have listened to how they described their lives before and during the war, while seeking refuge, and of their present and future life in Australia. From this I will show how they reproduce and maintain some aspects of their culture within the context of the Australian society, as well as how they are adapting to some aspects of life in that society. In this thesis I also explore the concepts of place, home and identity. In order to understand these concepts and how fluid they are in the current transnational era, I follow Thomas Faist’s (2000) thinking about the causes, nature and the extent of movement of international migrants from poorer to richer countries (also Cohen 1997; Kaplan 1995; Appadurai 1995). Faist in particular examines the process of adaptation of newcomers to host countries and the reasons why many migrants continue to keep ties to their home or place of origin. These ties, according to Faist, link transnational social spaces which range from border-crossing families and individuals to refugee diaspora. In this, I argue that resettlement involves complex interactions between newly arrived Southern Sudanese and members of Australian society. These complex interactions include firstly an array of social interactions occurring between Southern Sudanese and the staff of support organisations delivering settlement services to them. I show how the Southern Sudanese perceived the services they receive vis-à-vis the staff’s perceptions of Southern Sudanese as recipients of their services. Secondly they include various kinds of social interactions, relationships and networks among the Southern Sudanese and between them and members of Australian society through making friendships, home visitations, joining social and cultural clubs, and becoming involved in professional associations and churches which are predominantly Australian. I show how these social relations and networking are being enacted and maintained and/or fall apart over time. I ascertain whether these relationships have enhanced their resettlement or not.… Advisors/Committee Members: Skuse, Andrew John (advisor), Talyor, James (advisor), School of Social Sciences : Anthropology (school).
