What the paper says

This article discusses the unanticipated, but not unexpected, prevalence of racism in response to a post made on Facebook seeking participants for a study about the coronial jurisdiction. A critical understanding of the coronial jurisdiction is presented here, with a focus on the racism encountered online when seeking participants for the study. Facebook was used as a primary data source and recruitment tool due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions. A microcosm emerged in response to the Facebook post, unintentionally providing a space for white Australia to interrogate and assert who belongs and who does not, and revealing tropes of criminalisation and white supremacy.
