Jean Duruz’s work focuses on issues of cosmopolitan citizenship and multiculturalism in Australia, as well as in a number of other societies, including those of Singapore, Malaysia, Britain, the United States and Mexico. It addresses questions of reciprocal human relationships and cultural exchanges in cosmopolitan societies - ways that these relationships and exchanges can enhance social sustainability. A major strand of her work uses food as a window for analysing relations of class, gender, religion and ethnicity and for understanding issues of inclusion, integration and citizenship in a changing society. Her work has implications for issues of social justice and inclusion, cultural integration, urban and regional planning, tourism and the social and cultural role of small business.She is the co-author (with Gaik Cheng Khoo) of Eating Together: Food, Space, and Identity in Malaysia and Singapore (Rowman and Littlefield, Lanham and London, 2015).
