Identity Passing in Intercultural Performance of K-pop Cover Dance

ABSTRACT The global phenomenon of K-pop cover dance indicates the rise of imitation in social media and its production value wherein identity passing is necessary. Employing performance ethnography, this article analyzes two female K-pop cover dancers in San Diego, CA and examines their embodied labour and (dis)privilege in their intercultural performance of K-pop. Their stories disclose discrepancy than solidarity within the racial and ethnic minority fandom and (in)ability of identity passing based on sociocultural and economic resources at the intersection of age, race, ethnicity, class, education, and family. Yet, a daunting reality further inspires fans’ dreams to be like K-pop idols.

Parsing out the “Hispanic Effect” in Disaggregated Homicide Trends at the Intersection of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender from 1990 to 2016

This study contributes to homicide research by parsing out the Hispanic Effect and applying an intersectional approach to examining U.S. homicide victimization trends by race, ethnicity, and gender, jointly. Drawing on mortality data, we document and describe total, firearm, and non-firearm homicide victimization rates from 1990 to 2016 for six subgroups: Black women, Black men, Hispanic women, Hispanic men, White women, and White men. The analysis of within- and between-group homicide trends reveals important subgroup-specific patterns that prior studies using aggregate or confounded data have masked. The findings have important research, theory, and policy implications and advocate for an intersectional approach to studying homicide.

The workplace experiences of BAME professional women: Understanding experiences at the intersection

Situated within workplace equality and discrimination scholarship, this article focuses on intersectional identity narratives. We seek to better understand the workplace experiences of British Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) professional women, and how these experiences impact on a range of wellbeing outcomes. The absence of research relating to BAME professional women reflects a failure to consider intersectional organizational identities and experiences. We aim to problematize the existence of single and static identity categories within intersectional analyses and the challenge they represent. We engage a non‐traditional methodological approach, conducting real‐time online written interviews with professional British BAME women. We consider the important interplays at the intersection of minority ethnicity, gender and nationality. The main themes to emerge were (i) experiences of misperceived identity imposition, whereby such social treatment had implications for participants' wellbeing and (ii) the use of strategic essentialism by participants on the basis of nationality, ethnicity and gender, an innovative finding in intersectional research. We conclude that a focus on identity categories such as ethnicity or race and gender alone may lead to the further constraining and classifying of certain individuals. To avoid this there is need to consider intersectional identity experiences in light of nationality and the disparate underpinning systems of domination.

AS CONDIÇÕES DA INFRAESTRUTURA ESCOLAR, CORPO DOCENTE E RELAÇÕES DE GÊNERO NA ESCOLA DE ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL: UM ESTUDO DESCRITIVO EM ITAPETINGA, BA

O artigo reúne parte dos resultados da pesquisa descritiva que investigou relações de gênero em uma escola municipal de ensino fundamental, Itapetinga, BA, com foco no emprego de preconceitos e discriminação de gênero entre alunos e professor-alunos e a influência das condições e organização da infraestrutura escolar na aprendizagem escolar, observando as estratégias utilizadas pela escola (ou não) para ensinar a formação de valores coletivos, cidadania e melhoria das relações entre alunos no cotidiano escolar. O significado e sentido de prática educativa bem sucedida, nos quais buscamos apoio, encontram-se ancorados nas ideias de Arendt (1997), educação e emancipação de Adorno (1995), relações de gênero, corpo e processo pedagógico em Louro (1997, 2000), Carvalho (2016, 2012) e outros. Com base nos teóricos, compreendemos práticas educativas bem sucedidas aquelas que, além de gerar aprendizagem positiva, formação da cidadania e condição humana, possibilitam a melhoria das relações entre alunos (as) e professor-aluno(a), ampliando sentimentos afetivos e valores éticos, que potencializam relações interpessoais na escola. Neste texto, apresentamos um recorte teórico e resultados alcançados com informantes e de ações sobre gênero e intersecção raça e etnia. Esses resultados apontam que, quando a escola se preocupa com a melhoria das condições do ambiente escolar, como lugar de encontros prazerosos, saudável e a criação de estratégias para formação de valores e cidadania de seus alunos, tornando-os mais alegres, afetivos(as), potencializa as relações de interação, sociabilidades, respeito à diferença, convivência com a diversidade, responsabilidade com a vida e igualdade na escola, contudo, precisa ainda caminhar nesta direção.

Culturally Relevant Care Through the Lens of Duoethnography

Our study endeavors to explore how culturally relevant care manifests in our teaching at a predominantly Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Through duoethnography and collaborative interpretation of narrative data from our former students, we seek to better understand our own and our students’ learning experiences. Collecting our own and our students’ perspectives and stories about lived experiences with us as professors in narrative form allows for us and our respondents to reflect and express freely--to share views, impressions, interpretations, and experiences in our/their own words. Analysis of narrative reflections provides an opportunity to craft a story, to give voice to those living within the intersection of race, ethnicity, and cross-cultural teaching–learning relationships at a predominantly Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Findings intend to illuminate personal epistemologies (Hofer & Bendixen, 2012) and dispositions for transcending cultural, racial, and linguistic boundaries in higher education, thus providing a multifaceted collective story of cultivating care in cross-cultural teaching–learning relationships.

Sexual and reproductive health challenges facing minority ethnic girls in Vietnam: a photovoice study

This paper describes a study that examined the challenges faced by Vietnamese ethnic minority girls regarding their sexual and reproductive health. The study employed photovoice, a research method which treats photographs and the accompanying stories provided by participants as qualitative data. Twenty-six (26) minority ethnic girls took photographs of aspects of their lives as a way of documenting the challenges, difficulties and barriers that they faced in looking after their sexual and reproductive health. Findings indicated limited access to sexual health knowledge, the exclusion of young people from mainly adult-focused sexual and reproductive health services in minority ethnic communities and the prevalence of cultural beliefs and practices that negatively affected young people’s sexual and reproductive health. The intersection of ethnicity, age and gender places Vietnamese ethnic minority girls at risk, as everyday practices informed by culture and tradition curtail their access to the limited sexual and reproductive health information and services available in their communities. Understanding these challenges is needed in developing appropriate policies, programmes and services aimed at enhancing the sexual and reproductive health of this segment of the population.

Belonging, Citizenship and Ambivalence among Young Gay, Bisexual and Queer Indian Singaporean Men

ABSTRACT This article explores the attitudes and experiences of young ethnic Indian gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men in Singapore, where the state’s investments in economic progress, racial governmentality and “traditional” family policies significantly influence sexual and cultural citizenship. Based on abductively analysed in-depth interviews conducted on a subset of a larger qualitative study involving Singaporean lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer young adults, this article uses the concept of sociological ambivalence – which attends to the tensions between social structures and participants’ lives – to understand everyday experiences at the intersections of ethnicity, sexuality, gender and youth status. Three themes were identified from participants’ experiences: significant feelings of racialised liminality and marginality; tensions between personal desires and family pressures to get married and have children; and strategies taken in response to complex marginality. While participants were broadly satisfied with the material aspects of life in Singapore, their responses signal significant frustration with societal and sexual racism, a deeply ambivalent sense of belonging, and the desire for emigration to mitigate conflicting responsibilities to themselves and their families. By examining belonging and citizenship through the lens of sociological ambivalence, this article makes a theoretical and empirical contribution towards limited knowledge about the experiences of marginalised populations in Singapore.

The Unique Realities of Roma Lgbti in Albania

Roma LGBTI inequalities based on ethnicity, race, gender and sexual orientation have an intersectional character and build upon the intersection of these identity variables rather than having an aggregate factorial value, constitutes the major methodological-research question in this study. Understanding social structures, discrimination and disadvantage of LGBTI Roma in Albania involves scientific qualitative methodological tools in order to unveil the diversity, variations, differences and heterogeneity.
 The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex Roma people in Albania tell complex histories of being, both, present in and excluded from the communities they live in. Being different is a reality and the efforts to feel part of a community, are ongoing and painful. The LGBTI Roma see the world first and foremost from the point of view of race, gender and sexual orientation. The findings show that violence and discrimination against the LGBTI Roma community are a wide-spread phenomenon and manifested in the most severe and traumatic forms.
 The living stories of LGBTI Roma are rooted in the structural inequalities based on the intersection of sexual orientation, gender and ethnicity. LGBTI Roma in Albania are a “unique reality” which does not correspond and does not represent the reality of a Roma or LGBTI person. The research proves that from the methodological point of view in social sciences an illiterate gay Roma with low incomes is different from a gay illiterate and with low incomes (an illiterate + gay + Roma + low incomes ≠ from a gay + low incomes + illiterate).

Examining Issues Facing Communities of Color Today: The Role of Evaluation to Incite Change

AbstractThe intersection of ethnicity, class, gender, and race and attention to advocacy, inclusion and equity have never been more enmeshed with program evaluation than is the case today. Sponsors of evaluation and evaluators seek guidance on how and when to embrace these issues in the populations impacted by programs under review. Those newly sensitized to the importance of context and culture expect evaluation to rightly manage inquiry to produce results reflective of multicultural validity and equitable impacts. With social justice and equity added to the evaluation equation, the issues communities face challenge and often overwhelm (a) the evaluation design, (b) goals and implementation, and (c) other evaluation processes. Evaluations that do not seek to put these issues in perspective with the broader structures and value systems that create the issues fail to adequately inform audiences regarding what is happening in the programs and community context. All parties involved are finding a shortage of literature that inform important evaluative decisions that address the multilevel, salient issues in communities served. Of special note is the small but slowly growing number of evaluation scholars and authors who are persons of color, from a younger generation, and born of a more activist evaluation style. This issue provides an update to and contemporizes previous evaluation literature focused on issues impacting minority populations in evaluation (1992) and culturally responsive evaluation (2004). The issue describes historical roots of this work, provides a contemporary framing of the issues, offers several frameworks and approaches for social justice evaluation, and concludes with inquiry for the future. Discussion of key insights into present‐day issues in advocacy‐oriented evaluation are included throughout.

How do ethnicity and deprivation impact on life expectancy at birth in people with serious mental illness? Observational study in the UK.

Across international contexts, people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) experience marked reductions in life expectancy at birth. The intersection of ethnicity and social deprivation on life expectancy in SMI is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ethnicity and area-level deprivation on life expectancy at birth in SMI, defined as schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders and depression, using data from London, UK. Abridged life tables to calculate life expectancy at birth, in a cohort with clinician-ascribed ICD-10 schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders or depression, managed in secondary mental healthcare. Life expectancy in the study population with SMI was compared with life expectancy in the general population and with those residing in the most deprived areas in England. Irrespective of ethnicity, people with SMI experienced marked reductions in life expectancy at birth compared with the general population; from 14.5 years loss in men with schizophrenia-spectrum and bipolar disorders, to 13.2 years in women. Similar reductions were noted for people with depression. Across all diagnoses, life expectancy at birth in people with SMI was lower than the general population residing in the most deprived areas in England. Irrespective of ethnicity, reductions in life expectancy at birth among people with SMI are worse than the general population residing in the most deprived areas in England. This trend in people with SMI is similar to groups who experience extreme social exclusion and marginalisation. Evidence-based interventions to tackle this mortality gap need to take this into account.

The Sum Is Greater than its Parts: Intersectionality and Measurement Validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in Latinx Undergraduates in the United States

Previous research has demonstrated disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders for men and ethnic minorities. The current study sought to investigate differences in eating pathology and measurement validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) at the intersection of gender and ethnicity in a nonclinical sample of undergraduates. A total sample of 1173 undergraduates (177 Latino men, 133 non-Latino White men, 554 Latina women, 309 non-Latina White women) completed the EDE-Q as part of a larger study on eating habits. A series of ANOVAs indicated a similar pattern of effects for gender and ethnicity for the original four-factor, 22-item EDE-Q and an alternative three-factor, seven-item variant. Women scored significantly higher than men on all subscales, and Latinx participants scored significantly higher than non-Latinx White participants on the Shape Concern and Weight Concern subscales. A significant interaction of gender by ethnicity was observed on the Shape Concern subscale in which larger effects of ethnicity were observed for men compared to women. Tests of confirmatory factor analysis suggested only the three-factor, seven-item EDE-Q provided acceptable fit and demonstrated scalar invariance across gender and ethnicity. Our study highlights the importance of examining eating pathology and measurement validity at the intersection of demographic characteristics. Results suggest that Latino men may be at higher risk of eating pathology relative to non-Latino White men and that a three-factor, seven-item EDE-Q appears to be a valid measure of eating pathology across gender and ethnicity among U.S. undergraduates.

“It’s just easier”: Reflections on the intersections of kinship, race, and ethnicity in Asian American adoptive families

ABSTRACT This paper reports Phase II findings of an exploratory study of 26 families who have adopted children with Asian heritage, where at least one parent is Asian American. In-depth interviews provided a rich exploration of parents’ motivations to kin through adoption, the ways in which race and ethnicity factored into their child-selection preferences (if at all), their assumptions about their ability to create kinship bonds with an adopted child, and strategies for racial and ethnic socialization. The themes of approximating or performing family and inconspicuousness were repeated by parents when they considered how race and ethnicity factored into child-selection preferences and their assumptions about creating kinship bonds. The adoptive parents in this study were measured and nuanced in weighing the role of race and ethnicity for Asian adoptees, but the implicit strategies of modeling, mentoring, and intergenerational transmission were described less as strategies, and more about belonging and being a part of an extended tribe that was more authentic because of a shared identity as Asian Americans. Ultimately the question of whose interests are being served when race and ethnicity are considered has been dynamic and shifting throughout adoption history. This study sought to contribute in a small part to moving the conversation beyond the polarized Black-White racialized paradigm and provides direction for further research.

Whiteness, Imperial Anxiety, and the “Global 1930s”: The White British League Debate in Hong Kong

AbstractWhat is a British colony for, and who is it for? These were the questions at the crux of a public debate in 1933 in Hong Kong sparked by a British resident claiming to have formed an organization for the “protection and advancement” of the “British white race.” This article explores how anxieties about fascism, white privilege, and “others” in the empire allowed the very idea of such a political movement to be elevated to the subject of heated debate. The discussion on British unemployment, poor whites, and European “intruders” in the colony tells us less about the actual socioeconomic conditions that Hong Kong Britons faced than about their subjective experience of being “British” in an imperial context. The articulation of imperial anxiety also shows us how the fluid, ambiguous borders of whiteness and Britishness were negotiated at the intersections of nationalism, ethnicity, class, and race. Highlighting the global perspectives demonstrated in the debate and the various transnational networks across Hong Kong, this article argues that the debate was as much about global sociopolitical circumstances as about what was happening in Hong Kong. It therefore offers a timely opportunity to rethink how the local, “national,” regional, and global were interwoven in the “global 1930s,” even among the English reading public in the British colony of Hong Kong.

Intersecting and dynamic gender rights to néré, a food tree species in Burkina Faso

This study examines women's bundles of rights to exploit the pods of a valuable food-tree species in Burkina Faso, Parkia biglobosa , locally known as néré. In West Africa, néré pods have traditionally been collected and processed by women and sold as soumbala , a highly-valued condiment. Given its value to local livelihoods, néré is a prized tree that is subject to a particular tenure regime. This study investigates the social factors that define women's harvesting rights to néré pods in the centre-west region of Burkina Faso through the lens of intersectionality. Whereas customary land tenure in Burkina Faso grants men primary ownership and use rights to land, different groups of women are entitled to harvest food-tree products such as néré pods, in defined spaces. This study shows how women, who are usually presented as a homogeneous group in terms of rights, are socially differentiated on the basis of several factors, such as residence status, ethnicity and seniority within their lineage. This differentiation shapes the nested bundles of rights held by different groups of women on different land types. Amid broad-ranging demographic, market, and environmental changes, rights to exploit néré pods are shifting and contested, and insecurity of rights challenges the sustainability and equitability of néré harvesting. • Complex spatial and social dynamics shape women's access to land and néré fruits. • Such access rights depend on the intersection of gender, ethnicity and marital status. • Women negotiate and develop coping strategies to address insecure access conditions. • Oversimplified land policies fail to address complex, shifting tree tenure systems.

The moral economy of Asian migrant women in small business in Hong Kong

This article explores how moral norms shape migrant women’s small businesses and examines the implications for immigrant social integration. It draws on qualitative data collected in Hong Kong in the period 2014–2018. Findings from the study suggest that the picture of Asian migrant women in business as either a silent supporter or independent entrepreneur is incomplete. Rather, it is a more complex picture shaped by the intersection of class, gender, ethnicity and religion. Female immigrant entrepreneurship and female empowerment have a complicated relationship, where moral norms both facilitate and constrain women’s business activities. This study contributes to the literature on immigrant economy by suggesting that moral norms should not be overlooked for their implications on the long-term social integration of women immigrants.

Considerations at the intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability

Underrepresented racial and ethnic students in the health sciences may face unique barriers to accessing disability services due to compounding, socially stigmatizing factors. Disability resource providers must be aware of these potential barriers and be prepared to address them.

Family and identity: Intersectionality in the lived experiences of second-generation entrepreneurs of Chinese origin in the Netherlands

ABSTRACT This article explores how second-generation entrepreneurs of Chinese origin in the Netherlands construct their multiple identities in the context of their families of origin, at the intersection of ethnicity, generation, and entrepreneurship. Based on the life stories of five second-generation Chinese Dutch entrepreneurs, this article shows the complex trajectories through which entrepreneurial identity, ethnic identity, and second generation come together. It expands the theoretical and empirical insights on how these children grow up in Chinese immigrant families and become entrepreneurs in Dutch society and how, on the way, they set up less traditional businesses. Hence, the article underlines the importance of considering generation as an identity marker for ethnic minority entrepreneurs.
