Ruth Balint is a Professor at the University of New South Wales, specializing in transnational histories, refugees, and migration, with a primary focus on Europe and Australia. She has led several Australian Research Council-funded projects, including 'Russian Immigrants and Anti-Communism in Cold War Australia, 1946-1966' and 'Holocaust Australian Story, 1933-1954: Intimate History.' Her research extensively covers Australian migration history, with a current emphasis on Jewish migration. Balint investigates how immigrant women have experienced displacement and resettlement and conceptualizes familial ideas within these contexts. She recently received funding for a project examining the 'Pearl Rush: Pearl Merchants in Broome and the Global Pearl Trade,' which narrows down to the interconnections within old networks linking adventurers and itinerant travelers. In addition, she has authored 'Destination Elsewhere: Displaced Persons’ Quest to Leave Postwar Europe,' published with Cornell University Press, and co-authored 'Smuggled: Illegal History of Journeys to Australia' with Julie Kalman. Balint facilitates supervision for students interested in Australian history and migration narratives.
