Dr Goshu Wolde Tefera was born and raised in Ethiopia. He went to school, university, and completed his first master’s there, then moved to upstate New York for his second master’s, then Adelaide, and now Melbourne.
Dr Tefera completed his PhD at Monash University, where he’s also a teaching associate in human geography. Currently, he’s the Gippsland region strategic partnerships coordinator for a Victoria-government funded initiative, hosted by Latrobe Community Health Service, that supports settlement and inclusion of refugee and migrant-background communities.
His research focuses on “temporality”, or the paces and rhythms of everyday life, and how we experience them. His new paper in the journal Urban Geography documents refugee Ethiopians in Melbourne, and how resettlement has affected their lives.
This a summary of the paper, co-authored with Associate Professor Alan Gamlen, also of Monash.
The paper is, in essence, about what Dr Tefera calls “urban placemaking”. It draws on 52 interviews and fieldwork in 2018 and 2019 with Ethiopians in Melbourne from urban and rural backgrounds.
Census figures show more than half of all Ethiopian-born Australians live in Melbourne; about half are Christian, and one-third are Muslim. The majority speak Amharic, althoug

Special Report: How ethnic killings exploded from an Ethiopian town
(Reuters) - The screams of the dying gradually fell silent as the sky darkened. Around midnight, Berhane Gebrezigher, an ethnic Tigrayan, remembers lying in a ditch full of men who, like himself, had been shot and left for dead. He called out: "Is there anyone breathing?"
When the sun rose, the old man faced a choice: die in the ditch or haul himself to the road. Painfully, he began shuffling upwards.
It was mid-January, more than two months into an ethnic conflict that has convulsed western Tigray, an area of rich farmland in Ethiopia's north where two of the country's ethnic groups – Tigrayans and Amharas – used to live and work the soil together.
Berhane, 74, says he was among more than 50 Tigrayan civilians rounded up and trucked by Amhara forces to the Tekeze River that bisects Tigray. The forces ordered the men to climb down into what appeared to be a freshly dug ditch, Berhane said. Then the gunmen fired. Berhane was hit in both legs and in the back; he said he lay among the bodies, listening to the men reload and shoot at anyone who moved.
Five Tigrayan witnesses told Reuters they saw dozens of dead.
