Researcher biography
Rafael is a Social Science ECR whose research draws on Human Geography, International Studies and Sociology of Migration.
As part of his doctoral research, Rafael looked at the immigration landscape in Australia through a critical temporalities lens. Rafael utilised ethnographic methods to explore how first-generation migrants navigate and respond to temporally restrictive migration regimes. His research provides a critical approach to temporary migration in Australia, exploring the inconsistencies between temporariness de facto and de jure and how migrants ‘enact permanence’ in a context of imposed temporariness.
Rafael’s recent publications have been featured in journals such as Population Space and Place, Journal of Intercultural Studies and International Journal of Cross Cultural Management. Rafael has experience working on ARC-funded projects in human geography, migration and labour. Recently, he has been involved in an ARC Discovery project that looks into Global Production Networks in multifunctional rural landscapes of Australia from the perspectives of land, labour and environment.
