Academic biography
Dr. Fiona Murphy School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (SALIS), Dublin City University is an anthropologist whose work moves between research, writing, and creative practice. Based in the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (SALIS) at Dublin City University, her scholarship traces the politics and poetics of displacement across contexts of forced migration, Indigenous sovereignty, and sustainability. She has conducted long-term fieldwork with members of the Stolen Generations in Australia and with people seeking asylum and refuge in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Turkey. At DCU, Fiona is Programme Chair of the Master’s in Refugee Integration, where she teaches and writes on themes of trauma, memory, reconciliation, mobility, and resilience. Her research also extends into business and design anthropology, consumer culture theory, and corporate social responsibility, exploring how ethical and sustainable futures might be imagined through design and social practice. Fiona is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Anthropology and Humanism
