“…This message, amplified in coded forms by right wing media, erodes support for multiculturalism in ways that are strikingly evident in several of the rural-based, youth-centred works reviewed in this article (e.g. Kenway, Kraack, and Hickey-Moody 2006;Groenke and Nespor 2010;Butler 2018;Walker-DeVose et al 2019). This also highlights the need for more critical interrogations of concepts like "cosmopolitanism" and "multiculturalism" in rural youth multicultures within settler and post-colonial states, building on the works of Groenke and Nespor (2010) and Colvin (2017).…”

“…However, while Latino students were supported to join a Latino Achievement Club (which helped Latino students stay in school and apply to college), black students were not supported in the same goal. Silver found the region's legacies of racism, segregation and sustained social distance between black and white populations (see Troutman 2017;Walker-DeVose et al 2019;Miraftab 2016) discouraged teachers from advocating for separate clubs for black students in ways allowed for Latino students. Such examples highlight the failure of colourblind and multicultural policies to analyse racism and racist identification in rural contexts.…”

Youth, mobilities and multicultures in the rural Anglosphere: positioning a research agenda

Rural mobilities have transformed the social composition of rural places across the Global North. Young people are central to these changes and their role in rural livelihoods is crucial to rural futures. Yet little is known about how youth are negotiating today's rural multicultures in an era of accelerated mobilities and on the back of decades of neoliberal restructuring. This article reviews scholarship on young people's social relationships across ethnic and racial differences in rural Australia, the US, Canada and England, and excavates three trends within this literature. These are analyses of white and rural identity construction, policy and programme responses to rural youth "mixing", and strategies by racialized youth to manage racisms. The paper signposts areas for prospective research at the intersection of rural studies, youth multicultures and race, and shows how this may contribute to understandings of identity and social relations for young people in the geopolitical present.

“…Yet, there remains a perception that Western universities are post-racial, progressive and inclusive spaces that are inhabited by open-minded individuals. 12 This is exacerbated by the underreporting of racism in Western universities which fosters a misleading impression that racism is appropriately tamed within them. 13 While some ethnic minorities may find Western universities relatively safe spaces due to campuses typically being amongst the most diverse places in any city or town, since the death of George Floyd in May 2020, there has been an increased awareness of racism in society, including within Western higher education.…”

The myth of academic tolerance: the stigmatisation of East Asian students in Western higher education

This article focuses on the stigmatisation of East Asian students within Western universities. This is necessary because East Asian students are often overlooked in existing literature about racism in Western academia. It is argued that East Asian students may be generalised as undesirable students in ways that resonate with more broadly held prejudices about East Asian people. To illustrate this, academic publications about East Asian students are critiqued. This involves identifying, analysing and deconstructing the stereotypes of East Asian students which inadvertently totalise them as homogenous, inadequate and deficient. More specifically, it is argued that East Asian students are often unfairly depicted as: a) lacking critical thinking skills; b) being prone to plagiarism; and c) harming the educational environment. This article introduces the notion of 'the myth of academic tolerance' and calls upon academics and universities to actively resist the stigmatisation of East Asian students.

“…Black students have been elected to prominent positions at the university, including President of the Associated Student Body and Homecoming Queen; however, racial incidents continue to occur on campus (Combs et al, 2016), racial microaggressions have been extensively documented (Johnson et al, 2019), and 'freedom is a process, not an event' (Combs and Skipper, 2014: 134). Although a survey of university students is necessarily limited by the typical age range of students, this university provides a good setting for examining cross-racial interactions and 'southern assumptions' about persistent and indestructible racism (Walker-Devose et al, 2019).…”

Musical Relationships: Intersections of Race, Gender, Genre, and Listening Situation

The ways that music creates bridges and boundaries between people has long been of interest in the sociology of music, and a core problem is understanding patterns in relationships between consumers and producers. Survey research details the comparative context of who likes or dislikes various musical genres, but has little to say about what those categories actually mean to listeners. Ethnographic and interview research offers insight into musicking in particular situations, but seldom compares listeners, artists, and genres in a larger musical field. This study uses a mixed methods approach to examine the bridging and bounding processes organizing relationships between listeners and artists. Based on a survey of students at the University of Mississippi, I examine how musical relationships are shaped by race, gender, genre, and listening situation using a combination of social network analysis and correspondence analysis. Results show an overall pattern of racial segregation in musical tastes that is intersected by multiple paths of racial crossover, from relatively private to public situations. Black musical styles are central to racial crossover in the musical field, creating ambivalent spaces of cultural integration in the context of social segregation. Music profiles of listeners illustrate how situational meanings and comparisons of artists within genres shape musical relationships and mark social distance. The conclusion draws implications for the study of musical practices, racialized musical fields, and mixed methods approaches in cultural sociology.
