Acknowledgements

This book is based on people’s personal stories of migration. I am deeply grateful to each of the thirty-three people involved in this research who trusted me with their stories over the past 7 years, and I hope that I have done them justice. I would like to thank those who provided constructive and thoughtful feedback on draft chapters (Dr. Dianne Bills, Associate Professor Jodie George, Professor Carol Johnson, Professor Susan Luckman, Associate Professor Sabine Marschall, Associate Professor Angela Scarino, Dr. Jonathan Crichton, Dr. Shanthi Robertson and Dr. Kylie Jarrett) and to my doctoral supervisors, Dr. Jean Duruz and Associate Professor Peter Bishop, for their insights and conversation in the early stages of this research. I am also grateful to Springer and the editorial team for supporting this project.

This book was born out of my doctoral research. I am thankful for the financial support provided through an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) that enabled me to unde
