Welcome to the Centre for Communication & Social Change's newsletter.

This month we explore issues surrounding the contentious asylum seeker debate in Australia. Read an interview with Dr. Aparna Hebbani about her work with refugee settlement. Also, check out a CSC Masters student working with the Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland to teach refugees valuable media skills.

Catch up on what's been happening at the Centre including our recent screening of television series 'Go Back to Where You Came From'.

This month Shout Out! features protest videos as contributors explore social change issues affecting our readers everyday.

As always we appreciate all feedback about the newsletter and input on what you'd like to see in the future. Please contact the Centre's Communication Officer, Rhian Deutrom, with your thoughts.
