Funded Activity Summary

The role of the Wittenoom Asbestos mine in the lives and deaths of Italian transnational workers. Reconstructing the lives of Italian workers in the context of transnational migration and the mining of one of the worlds' most hazardous minerals is significant in itself as part of Australian historical record. To the Italian community, the story exemplifies the disproportionate contributions and sacrifices of postwar migration. Importantly, the evidence produced will be of use in improving public health and policy responses to the legacy of asbestos disease, both in Australia and in Italy. In drawing on Italian and Australian scholarship, community networks and government initiatives, the project will provide valuable training to a doctoral candidate, and contribute to furthering the practical internationalisation of Australian research.
