Description

Understanding how forced separation disrupts wellbeing. This Fellowship aims to elucidate the biological, psychological and social determinants of the adverse effects of forced family separation on physical and emotional wellbeing. Through utilizing a novel multi-method experimental and longitudinal design that aligns lab-based studies with the ecological study of refugee separation, new knowledge gained will be disseminated to stakeholders via participatory workshops to guide translation pathways. Expected outcomes will advance a science of separation that harnesses psychological insights to address key social issues. This should benefit Australian society by better supporting people to navigate the harmful effects of forced separation through evidence-based best practice and policy.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 5205 - Social and Personality Psychology. Lead: Prof Belinda Liddell
