Grant Activity:
Care Leaver Activism & Advocacy: From Deficit Models To Survivor Narratives
Purpose:
This project aims to create the first history of survivor-activism that challenged and exposed failings in Australian child welfare systems. It intends to reveal how Care Leavers (people institutionalised as children—500,000+ Australians in the 20th century alone) advocated for government inquiries and reforms, and how stigma ascribed to them impacted their disparate experiences of citizenship. Expected outcomes include an innovative survivor-led participatory research model for ethical research with marginalised groups, and an interactive website presenting new narratives of out-of-home care. The project seeks to benefit Care Leavers by highlighting their resilience, and in the process inform service provisions to support their wellbeing.
