Rate My Professor Kevin Dunn

Dunn is a prominent researcher in human geography and urban studies, with academic interests centered on racism and anti-racism, immigration and settlement patterns, Islam in Australia, local government, and multiculturalism. He has led the Challenging Racism Project for twenty years, conducting national surveys (e.g., racist attitudes n=12,517; experiences n=4,020) that have filled critical gaps in Australian scholarship and operationalized concepts such as Anglo privilege, belief in 'race', and bystander anti-racism responses. His grant successes include four ARC Discovery Projects, ARC Linkage Projects, and others as PI or CI. Notable publications encompass books like Cyber Racism and Community Resilience (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), Landscapes: Ways of Imagining the World (2003), and Introducing Human Geography (2000); recent works include "Complex religion, conspiracy theories, misinformation, and covid-19 in NSW, Australia" (Journal for the Academic Study of Religion, 2026) and "Effectiveness of a comprehensive bystander anti-racism intervention for healthcare staff in Australia" (Public Health Research & Practice, 2026). A Fellow of the New South Wales Geographical Society (past President) and the Royal Society of New South Wales, Dunn's contributions have elevated disciplinary standing and informed policy on culturally uneven citizenship and anti-racism strategies.
