Publicly Accessible Literature Relating to Social Mix

Introduction

REDWatch, as well as a number of other stakeholders from Redfern and Waterloo, have requested research material on the topic of social mix. Below is a preliminary overview of some of the material available, with a focus on material that is available for download free of charge. It is proposed that more extensive work be undertaken in the near future, in consultation with the emerging Redfern and Waterloo Community Learning and Research Committee. This will include a substantial list of journal articles and summary notes on their relevance to Redfern and Waterloo.
