Diasporic media and identity construction in the Turkish community in Australia

I'm going to talk about a project which I'm working on exploring the use of old and new media by the Turkish community in Melbourne. As most of you would know, Australia is a nation of immigrants, and the Turkish migrants who began arriving in Australia in the late 1960s, were the first major wave of Muslim immigrants. The next major Islamic group to arrive were the Lebanese in the later part of the 1970s. Lebanese migrants and their descendants now make up the biggest Muslim ethnic group in Australia.
