The Community, Identity and Displacement Research Network (CIDRN) is a public intellectual space where research activities are encouraged and promoted. This broad network aims to draw together and foster scholarly investigation of new diasporas and changing meanings of displacement and identity. It is an intellectual space where new questions about indigeneity, racism, refugees, sense of place, social inclusion, social justice, transnationalism and xenophobia can be raised, debated and discussed.

Statement on Gaza
At this moment in history, the world is grappling with what it means to be a witness to genocide, primarily in Palestine. As a select group of active members from the Community, Identity, and Displacement Research Network (CIDRN), we felt given the orientation and ethos of our work it was important to share the following statement as our way of acknowledging the ongoing genocide occurring in Gaza and to express our solidarity for self-determination for Palestinian people.
The witnessing of genocide and other ways of colonial violence in current times has elevated the already pressing need to understand and question the contexts that are contributing to and upholding the violation of human rights of Palestinian people and many Indigenous peoples around the world.
We hope to engage in actions, share information and participate in dialogues that contribute to the contextualisation of the pressing events occurring in Palestine and other spaces in the world, emphasising the fight for liberation and resistance to the realities of settler colonialism and occupation.
This statement does not represent everyone in the CIDRN network, but rather a select group of people whose names appear below. We also gladly invite those who wish to engage with this group or the wider CIDRN network to join us by signing up here.
