  • Refugee Youth, Belonging and Community Sport
    This is an Author’s Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Leisure Studies [copyright Taylor & Francis]. Leisure Studies, 2015, 34(3): 303-318 Refugee youth, belonging and community sport Ramón Spaaij Abstract This article examines community sport as a site where refugee youth negotiate belonging, which is conceptualised as a dynamic dialectic of ‘seeking’ and ‘granting’. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork among Somali Australian youth at community football (soccer) clubs in Melbourne, the article identifies the kinds of belonging that are constructed by refugee youth in community sport, the social processes that facilitate or impede these belongings, and the forms of boundary work involved. The belonging negotiated by Somali Australian youth in community sports clubs is multi-layered, dynamic and situational, and involves multiple boundary shifts. It operates at varying scales of experience from the sports team and local community to the transnational. The article shows that while social boundaries such as clan, team and locality are porous, other boundaries of inclusion/exclusion, notably gender, ethnicity and religion, tend to be more stable and more difficult to cross for Somali Australian youth in community football clubs. Keywords: belonging; boundary work; refugees; settlement; sport 1 Introduction Sport plays a significant role in the everyday lives of many young people with refugee backgrounds. One reason is that sport provides a setting in which young people can express themselves through bodily practices, construct and perform social identities, and craft emotional closeness to, or distance from, other people (e.g. Walseth, 2006a; Walseth & Fasting, 2004). Playing or watching sport is something that many young people, and especially young men, do as a way of occupying themselves and socialising with each other.

  • Migrant Integration and Cultural Capital in the Context of Sport and Physical Activity: a Systematic Review
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Victoria University Eprints Repository Journal of International Migration and Integration https://doi.org/10.1007/s12134-018-0634-5 Migrant Integration and Cultural Capital in the Context of Sport and Physical Activity: a Systematic Review Robyn Smith1 & Ramón Spaaij2,3 & Brent McDonald2 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract The belief that participation in sport and physical activity assists the integration of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) migrants is prominent within sport policy and programming. Integration outcomes may be enhanced when the migrant develops facets of cultural capital that are valued by both the migrant and the destination country. This paper systematically examines the cultural capital of CALD migrants in the context of participation in sport and physical activity. Databases were searched for papers published in peer-reviewed journals between 1990 and 2016. A total of 3040 articles were identified and screened, and 45 papers were included in this review. Findings show that migrants’ cultural capital can be both an asset to, and a source of exclusion from, sport participation. Sport and physical activity are sites where migrant- specific cultural capital is (re)produced, where new forms of cultural capital that are valued in the destination society are generated, and where cultural capital is negotiated in relation to the dominant culture. The authors conclude that the analytical lens of cultural capital enables an in-depth understanding of the interplay between migrant agency and structural constraints, and of integration as a two-way process of change and adaptation, in the context of sport and physical activity.

  • The Experiences of Australian and Dutch Somalis
    CITATION: RAMÓN SPAAIJ AND JORA BROERSE (2018). SPORT AND THE POLITICS OF BELONGING: THE EXPERIENCES OF AUSTRALIAN AND DUTCH SOMALIS. IN: N. OKE, C. SONN AND A. BAKER (EDS) PLACES OF PRIVILEGE: INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON IDENTITIES, CHANGE AND RESISTANCE. LEIDEN: BRILL, PP. 105-122. SPORT AND THE POLITICS OF BELONGING: THE EXPERIENCES OF AUSTRALIAN AND DUTCH SOMALIS RAMÓN SPAAIJ & JORA BROERSE INTRODUCTION Contemporary policy and academic debates on the settlement and integration of recently arrived migrants and refugees draw attention to migrants’ negotiation of identity and belonging in relation to the receiving community. Recent research suggests that this process is shaped by the interplay between the aspirations and resources of migrants, and the structural forces and social norms to which they are expected to conform within the country in which they live (Bhatia & Ram, 2009; Hammond, 2013). Critical academic work indicates the unintended consequences that integration policies can have on migrants’ and refugees’ feelings of national belonging and identification (Valentine, Sporton, & Nielsen, 2009). That is, prevailing notions of nationhood and national citizenship tend to constrain the social and discursive space available to recently arrived migrants to define their identities and their sense of belonging to the nation as well as to homeland or a diasporic community (Ager & Strang, 2010; Valentine et al., 2009). Yet, research also suggests important trajectories of identity construction beyond, or parallel to, the mould of narrowly defined national identities (Cohen, 2010) that present possibilities for unfixing identities, particularly nation-derived ones (Vertovec, 2001). This potentially creates space for more hybrid, plural and fluid forms of identity and belonging (Hall, 1990).

  • Countering Violent Extremism in a Multicultural City
    COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN A MULTICULTURAL CITY: FROM NATIONAL SECURITY TO LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA by ELANNA LOUISE NOLAN B.A. (Hons.), The University of Melbourne, 2008 M.U.P., The University of Melbourne, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2019 ©Elanna Louise Nolan, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Countering Violent Extremism in a Multicultural City: From national security to local implementation in Melbourne, Australia submitted by Elanna Nolan in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Examining Committee: Daniel Hiebert, Geography Supervisor David Ley, Geography Supervisory Committee Member Jamie Peck, Geography University Examiner Brian Job, Political Science University Examiner Additional Supervisory Committee Members: Sara Thompson, Criminology Supervisory Committee Member Kurt Iveson, Geography Supervisory Committee Member ii Abstract Since the events of 9/11, counter-terrorism has been a top priority for governments around the world. Concern over “homegrown” or domestic terrorism has led many governments to consider community engagement as fundamental to counter-terrorism and national security policy. Preventative frameworks are now commonplace. “Soft” approaches to counter violent extremism (CVE) rely on community-based models to tackle the underlying causes of violent radicalisation. Counter-terrorism and CVE programs have been seen to disproportionately target Muslim youth, typically seeking to address disenfranchisement, alienation and social exclusion as factors contributing to trajectories of radicalisation to violent extremism.

  • Refugee Youth, Social Inclusion and Health
    REFUGEE YOUTH, SOCIA L INCLUSION AND HEALTH KAREN BLOCK BVSC (HONS); BA (HONS); MPH SUBMITTED IN TOTAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY NOVEMBER 2012 MELBOURNE SCHOOL OF POPULATION HEALTH FACULTY OF MEDICINE, DENTISTRY AND HEALTH SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE PRODUCED ON ARCHIVAL QUALITY PAPER ii ABSTRACT In recent years, refugees settling in Australia have come predominantly from countries that have experienced protracted conflict and consequent displacement of populations. Ensuing disruption to education and to family and social networks results in particular barriers to social inclusion for young refugees and there is a corresponding need for evidence-based policies and practices to support successful settlement for this population. Social inclusion is a key social determinant of health. Accordingly, this PhD research addresses the question: How can policy-makers and services promote positive resettlement experiences and social inclusion for refugee-background youth in Australia? Its overall aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the resettlement experiences of recently arrived refugee-background youth in Australia, and provide policy-relevant evidence to inform service provision for this population. This aim and research question entails the following further objectives: To review the existing evidence relating to issues of social inclusion, social connectedness, employment and education opportunities for young refugee settlers; To bring the voices of refugee-background young people themselves into the knowledge constructed around them; To use theories of social inclusion and social capital to inform understanding of their experiences; To assess the impact of a support program for recently arrived refugee youth on their resettlement experiences.

  • The Settlement of Refugees in Australia: a Bibliography (8Th Rev. Ed.)
    The settlement of refugees in Australia: a bibliography (8th rev. ed.) Klaus Neumann1 Since the end of the Second World War, Australia has resettled over 800,000 refugees. Australia’s resettlement efforts were most pronounced in the late 1940s and early 1950s when it accommodated hundreds of thousands of European Displaced Persons (DPs) who were brought to Australia under the auspices of the International Refugee Organization (IRO), the immediate predecessor of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In 1949 alone, Australia resettled 75,486 DPs sponsored by the IRO. In 2014–15, Australia accepted 13,756 people under its humanitarian program, including 6002 refugees selected off-shore. Australia has accommodated refugees throughout its history, including approximately 10,000 people fleeing Europe between the mid-1930s and the early 1940s and thousands of asylum seekers who engaged Australia’s protection obligations. The first refugees formally resettled in Australia were 843 Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians – 729 single men, and 114 single women – who had been selected by Australian immigration officials in European DP camps and who arrived in November 1947 on board the General Stuart Heintzelman. Between the late 1940s and the late 1950s, refugees who had been selected by Australian officials overseas in collaboration with the IRO, the UNHCR and the Intergovernmental Organisation for European Migration (ICEM) and were resettled in Australia, were considered to be an integral part of the overall migrant intake. They had to meet criteria similar to those developed for other components of the immigration program: they had to pass stringent medical tests, and the adults among them had to have good employment prospects.
