The Australian Research on Refugee Integration Database (ARRID) is a free searchable database developed to facilitate greater access to research for anyone who is interested in understanding more about refugee settlement in Australia. This includes students, academics, people with refugee backgrounds, policymakers and practitioners. It was developed by Melbourne Social Equity Institute in partnership with the Refugee Education Special Interest Group. ARRID provides a comprehensive view of refugee research in Australia, which can be searched by topic, author/s, dates of publication and more. It has also mapped over 20 years of Australian research on refugee settlement onto an adapted conceptual framework for understanding refugee integration that was originally developed by Ager and Strang and utilised by the UK Home Office. ARRID has recently been updated with 322 new items, of which over 80% are peer-reviewed journal articles. Of these, there continues to be a continuing focus on COVID-19 related research, as well as research on gender-based violence impacting refugee and asylum-seeking communities. Visit ARRID → https://lnkd.in/g8Z3h6BA The ARRID Project Team are Sally Baker, Karen Block, Charlene Edwards, Louise Olliff and John Tran. Thank you to Olivia Allwood and Calvin Truong, students from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, who supported the latest updates to ARRID. #SocialEquity #RefugeeResearch #MigrationResearch
