Our Project

We speak with migrants from non-English-speaking backgrounds to learn about their experiences managing diabetes and engaging with the healthcare system. Our researchers from the School of Languages and Cultures carry out research in Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Italian in order to appreciate the socially-embedded complexities of such chronic health diagnosis, self-management and care. Learn more about our research and researchers.

Symposium, 26 February 2018: Diabetes, Culture and Migrant Wellbeing

At the conclusion of our pilot project, “Socially Embedded Diabetes Management among CALD Groups in Western Sydney: A New Participatory Research and Education Strategy,” we presented preliminary findings from our research. This led to enthusiastic discussions with an audience including representatives from Diabetes NSW, Charles Perkins Centre, Sydney Medical School, Community Migrant Resource Centre, and the NSW Health Multicultural Health Service. We were also fortunate to be able to discuss methodology and plan our next steps with keynote speaker Professor Mohan Dutta, Director for the Culture-Centered Approach to Research and Evaluation (CARE), Massey University (previously at National University of Singapore).
