“…One striking resemblance to the state-sanctioned violence of #BLM in America was the murder of Aboriginal man David Dungay Jr in 2015 in Sydney's Long Bay prison who repeatedly said 'I can't breathe' while being held face down on the ground by white officers. The #AboriginalLivesMatter Movement also highlighted the significantly higher rates of incarceration and deaths in custody of Indigenous Australians compared to the rest of the Australian population (Dejmanee et al 2022).…”

African Australian diasporic literature has drawn attention to the anti-Black racism Black African young people endure in everyday Australia. By drawing on a multi-method approach consisting of social media ethnography and multiple participant interviews, this paper explores the use of social media by Black African young people (n=15) to visibilise their experiences of racism. We situate the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, as a significant ‘turning point’ when the social media practises of our participants radically transformed. Our findings indicate that prior to the murder of George Floyd, participants evoked careful boundaries around the type of racial content they posted for fear of the punishments or backlash that could occur if they disrupted the white racial comfort of their friends and followers. After the murder of Floyd, participants used the resurgence of the #BlackLivesMatter Movement to visibilise their own experiences of anti-Black racism and racial violence in Australia, sharing content on social media that marked whiteness, demanded safety and challenged white silence and performative allyship.

Race has been a market force in society for centuries. Still, the question of what constitutes focused and sustainable consumer research engagement with race remains opaque. We propose a guide for scholars and scholarship that extends the current canon of race in consumer research toward understanding race, racism, and related racial dynamics as foundational to global markets and central to consumer research efforts. We discuss the nature, relevance, and meaning of race for consumer research and offer a thematic framework that critically categorizes and synthesizes extant consumer research on race along the following dimensions: (1) racial structuring of consumption and consumer markets, (2) consumer navigation of racialized markets, and (3) consumer resistance and advocacy movements. We build on our discussion to guide future research that foregrounds racial dynamics in consumer research and offers impactful theoretical and practical contributions.

The diversity-dissent paradox: Navigating police and university recruitment challenges amidst campus protest dynamics

Amidst the current wave of social activism sparked by the ongoing crisis in Israel-Palestine, universities across the United States, Canada and Australia are increasingly turning to law enforcement to address social unrest on their campuses. This has been met with vocal support from local politicians in the United States, some of whom advocate for the deployment of the National Guard. However, such reliance on state power comes at a time when law enforcement agencies and universities are grappling with significant challenges in recruiting new cadets and students, particularly from racialised and/or otherwise marginalised communities. This conceptual article delves into the intricate paradox facing both institutions today. While there is a pressing need for a police force that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves, much of police action, often involving the use of force, is directed at these very communities as they voice their grievances against perceived social injustices. Drawing on insights from anticolonial literature, historical and contemporary analyses of police interactions, this article elucidates how policing has historically served to uphold existing power structures and how, in certain cases, the continued alignment of police forces with elite interests exacerbates the difficulty of diversifying the force.
