A new research project at Charles Sturt University aims to investigate how Australian Muslims perceive their identities and the emotional connections associated with these identities. Led by Mirela Cufurovic, the study seeks to engage individuals who fit specific criteria to contribute to a deeper understanding of this community.
The research is open to participants who meet the following conditions: they must be over 18 years old, born in Australia, or have arrived in the country before the age of seven. Cufurovic encourages eligible individuals to share their perspectives through a survey, which can be accessed via a QR code or by visiting the provided link: https://csufobjbs.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8CScqEWZZxcPbDw.
Cufurovic’s work is particularly timely, as it addresses the complexities of identity within a multicultural society. She expressed a strong desire to hear from participants, stating, “I would love to understand how Australian Muslims feel about their identity and what it means to them to be both Muslim and Australian.”
The study has received ethical approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee of Charles Sturt University, with the project protocol number being H23532. This ensures that the research will be conducted in accordance with ethical standards, prioritizing the rights and welfare of participants.
Cufurovic invites anyone who meets the criteria to take part in this important research initiative. Those who have questions or require further information can contact her directly via email at [email protected].
By participating in this survey, individuals can contribute to a greater understanding of the Australian Muslim community and help shape discussions about identity in contemporary Australia.
