She is also academic member of CRIS Stream 1: Challenging Racism and Enhancing Social Belonging.

Alanna’s research contributions lie in the areas of Australian multiculturalism and cultural diversity, experiences of migration, racism and anti-racism, national identity and intersectional experiences of belonging/exclusion.

She is currently leading our project 'Asian Australians' Experiences of Racism During the COVID-19 Pandemic'.
