Abstract

In order to understand the everyday lives and survival strategies of individuals and families with either regular or irregular migration status in Australia, and to identify the various forms of social isolation and exclusion faced by temporary migrants, our research employed a mixed-method approach as its overarching framework (Merton 2009; Creswell and Plano Clark 2007). Büscher and Urry’s articulation of ‘mobile methods’ (2009) and Richter’s evocation of a ‘transnational space’ (2012) also provide configurations important for the present study, where temporariness and permanence, belonging and not belonging sit side by side.
