  • 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.

  • Dear Colleagues, Friends and Fellow Macedonians
    Dear colleagues, friends and fellow Macedonians, AUSTRALIAN CENSUS 2021 – ADVICE TO THE MACEDONIAN COMMUNITY The Australian Macedonian Council of New South Wales Inc. is committed to advocating for and supporting Macedonian Australians, and in promoting the collective Macedonian Australian perspective regarding matters of public policy and strategic importance. The Australian Census will be held on Tuesday, 10 August 2021. The Census will provide Macedonian Australians with an opportunity to share our story. The Census counts every person and household in Australia. It is a snapshot of who we are and how we are changing. It is important to confirm your Macedonian identity on the Australian Census, including questions about ancestry, language, country of birth and religion. It will ensure that we are adequately represented in Australia as a minority community and in key policy areas such as cultural diversity, health, education and social services. By identifying as a Macedonian Australian, you will enable the Australian Government to better understand who we are and the needs of our community now and in the future. The Council has developed an information campaign and guide to support the Macedonian community with responding to key questions in the upcoming Census. The information is available in English and Macedonian, and includes a step-by-step guide to answering the questions. It is available by clicking on the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19Nzd0Vl6Hpza- hFp9tG8kK3jQcTuVWZs?usp=sharing The Australian Bureau of Statistics has also published some information in the Macedonian language. This can be accessed via the following link: https://census.abs.gov.au/macedonian We strong encourage you to the share the information guide to your fellow Macedonians, friends, colleagues and organisational members.

  • Impact of Immigration on Native and Ethnic Consumer Identity Via Body Image

Hingorani, Marketing Discipline Group, University of Technology Sydney, P. O. Box 123, Broadway, NSW, Australia. Tel: 61-2-9514-3543. E-mail: [email protected] Received: November 8, 2016 Accepted: January 7, 2017 Online Published: January 16, 2017 doi:10.5539/ijms.v9n1p27 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijms.v9n1p27 Abstract This research focuses on consumer identity of two under-researched but growing immigrant communities in Australia via the lens of the body image construct. Consistent with an emerging stream of research, body image is viewed as a part of identity. Given the variety of goods and services that have an impact on consumers’ perceptions of their body, and because consumers use products to create and convey desired identities, body image is also viewed as a part of consumer identity. Considering literature on identity, body image, and acculturation, exploratory research was undertaken to determine the impact of immigration on the identities of both immigrants and natives. Specifically, focus groups were conducted on two generations of Filipino- and Indian-Australian women as well as Anglo-Australian women. It was found that second generation immigrants have dual consumer identities where they balance the values, attitudes and lifestyles of both their home (i.e., native or heritage) and host cultures whereas first generation immigrants tend to retain their native consumer identity even if they appear to adopt values, attitudes, and lifestyles of the host culture.
