DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute’s Maxwell African Scholars Union (MASU) 
 presents Dr. Goshu Tefera.Time is a fundamental dimension of human existen
 ce. However\, when it comes to migration\, the discourse frequently revolv
 es around spatial dimensions\, overlooking the temporal facets involved. I
 n this presentation\, Dr. Tefera explores the temporalities of refugee mig
 ration among Ethiopian Australians in Melbourne\, focusing on their experi
 ences of settlement. Settling in Melbourne\, a highly urbanized capitalist
  space with a fast-paced rhythm\, the production relations are temporally-
 mediated\, necessitating for refugees to be a ‘ready-to-go’ workforce susc
 eptible to exploitation. This demand for readiness to serve production nee
 ds often requires them to develop stronger bonds to their workplaces and w
 ork routines\, leading to weaker ties with their social networks\, which i
 n turn affects their health and wellbeing. Dr. Tefera argues that the temp
 oral aspect needs to be considered as much as the spatial when engaging wi
 th understanding of the wider settlement challenges that refugees face.&nb
 sp\;Tefera is an assistant professor of ethnic studies at California State
  University\, Stanislaus. He has a Ph.D. in human heography from Monash Un
 iversity\, an M.A. in Pan African studies from Syracuse University\, and a
 n M.A. in gender and development studies from Bahir Dar University. His re
 search focuses on the experiences of Africans in the diaspora and contempo
