Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellow working on “Humane Exclusion: How States Justify Excluding Refugees”

The Australian National University’s College of Asia & the Pacific is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Fellow in International Relations (Level A) to work on the ARC project “Humane Exclusion: How States Justify Excluding Refugees.”

The project examines the long history of humane-sounding arguments that Western states and other actors have used to justify controlling the mobility of Indigenous people, enslaved people, minorities, displaced people, and marginalized others. It pays particular attention to how these arguments have often relied on appeals to certain understandings of theology, race, gender, climate, and disease.

Reporting to Professor Luke Glanville, the successful candidate will undertake original research on one or more of the project’s themes.
