Youth, Diversity and Wellbeing in a Digital Age

Deakin University

I completed my PhD at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Melbourne. I have a BA (Honours) and Master of Philosophy in Archaeology from the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. My research revolves around the politicisation of heritage and archaeology in Sri Lanka and its impact on ethnic minority communities, with a focus on the role of heritage in community resilience building and reconciliation in the aftermath of civil war.
