'We know them, but we don't know them': a grounded theory approach to exploring host students' perspectives on intercultural contact in an Irish university

'We know them, but we don't know them': a grounded theory approach to exploring host students' perspectives on intercultural contact in an Irish university
(2008)
Dunne, Ciaran
Abstract:
This study is concerned with intercultural relations among students in an Irish university. Specifically, the study explores host culture students’ perceptions of cultural difference within the student body and their experiences of intercultural contact on campus, including the factors which inform such contact. Using a grounded theory approach, 24 in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 2nd year undergraduate students from three courses. The data were rigorously analysed through a systematic process of coding, categorisation and theoretical development to produce findings grounded in students’ personal comments and lived experiences. These findings indicate that although nationality and age are employed as markers of cultural identity, host students’ construction of cultural difference is heavily informed by their perception of diverging value systems within the specific educational environment. These values are in turn reflected in students’ reported behaviours, attit...

"<i>Diaspora</i> is a Greek word: Words by Greeks on the Diaspora"
(2016)
Frangos, Marina
Abstract:
The article explores the different types of the Greek Diaspora in the past 150 years and how these different types are identified in literary production. Following global diasporas’ theory and particularly Robin Cohen’s typology of victim, labour, trade, cultural and imperial diasporas, various literary works are cited by writers of Greek heritage from different countries to determine whether these different types of diaspora have been represented and presented to a global audience. The article adds to a better understanding of global migrant literature. Writers cited include Elia Kazan, Pulitzer-prize winner Greek American Jeffrey Eugenides and Australia’s Christos Tsiolkas.

“He thinks he is Polish, but the way he acts is Irish”: the negotiation of family language Policy within Polish migrant and transnational families in Ireland

“He thinks he is Polish, but the way he acts is Irish”: the negotiation of family language Policy within Polish migrant and transnational families in Ireland
(2020)
Connaughton-Crean, Lorraine
Abstract:
In an era of increased transnationalism, cultural and linguistic diversity has become a prominent feature of Irish society. Between the years of 1995 and 2008, Ireland experienced high rates of inward migration for the first time, which has subsequently led to an emerging second generation of migrants in Ireland (Röder, Ward, Frese, & Sánchez, 2014). While the Polish community is the largest non-Irish group in Ireland, little is known yet about the unique linguistic and cultural challenges faced by Polish migrant and transnational families in Ireland. Family language policy (FLP) research depicts “how languages are managed, learned and negotiated within families” (King, Fogle, & Logan-Terry, 2008, p. 907). FLP studies of migrant and transnational families in Ireland are limited and the current study aims to explore how individual members within Polish families in Ireland jointly construct and negotiate FLP in the home domain. The current study contributes to the field of FLP...

“Judging by the cover”: a grounded theory study of bullying towards same-country and immigrant peers
(2018)
Mazzone, Angela; Thornberg, Robert; Stefanelli, Sara; Cadei, Livia; Caravita, Simona C.S.
Abstract:
This study investigated students’ perspectives about bullying towards same-country and immigrant peers. Thirty-five Italian and immigrant students (age range: 11–15) took part to the study. Participants were probed with two bullying scenarios, depicting respectively a new classmate from another Italian city and from a foreign country. A Grounded Theory approach was adopted to examine participants’ perspectives about the motives for bullying. Findings showed that a process of socializing deviance is at the core of both forms of bullying. This social process refers to a series of shared beliefs within the peer group about the victim's deviant features. Three sub-categories related to both forms of bullying emerged from the core concept: (a) Rejecting the newcomer deviance, (b) Rejecting physical deviance, (c) and Rejecting personality deviance. These sub-categories were related to the sub-categories of bullying towards immigrant peers: (d) Rejecting cultural deviance, (e) and Lea...

A study of the involvement of Traveller parents in Traveller preschools in Ireland
(2014)
Boyle, Anne
Abstract:
This study examines the involvement of Traveller parents in Traveller preschools in Ireland. Travellers are a distinct cultural group in Ireland who have traditionally experienced educational disadvantage. Parental involvement is widely acknowledged as having a positive impact on children’s school success. Traveller preschools were established from the 1970s onwards, as an educational intervention for Traveller children, and continued until 2011 when the Department of Education and Skills withdrew funding. This thesis sets out to answer three main questions: What was the historical and policy context for Traveller preschools? What are Traveller parents’ perspectives on schooling? In what ways were parents involved in Traveller preschools? The methodology is mainly qualitative, drawing on interpretivism, social constructivism and critical theory. A variety of methods is employed, including document analysis, focus group and individual interviews, and a questionnaire survey. This stud...

An investigation into the Experiences of international Muslim students in an Irish university
(2017)
Gamze Üstündağ, Buse
Abstract:
Ireland has transformed from being a country of emigration to a country of immigration within the past two decades. The transformation is evident in Irish higher education which currently recruits over one hundred thousand international students from across the globe. Although Muslim immigration into Ireland began with international students who came to study in Royal College of Surgeons Ireland in 1950s, research on Muslim students, particularly international, in Irish higher education has largely been neglected to date. Consequently, this project explores the experiences of international Muslim students (IMS) in an Irish university, asks whether a religious identity is a pertinent factor in intercultural contact, and investigates internationalisation of higher education in Ireland from the perspective of IMS. The study used a constructive grounded theory approach within an interpretative framework. 23 semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with IMS from undergradu...

Breaking down barriers with wordless picturebooks: “The Silent Books Exhibition, from the world to Lampedusa and back”
(2018)
McGillicuddy, Áine
Abstract:
In 2012 the Italian branch of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) established a library on Lampedusa Island, Italy for the use of local children but also for the many refugee children arriving there from Africa and the Middle East. The challenge was to find books to appeal to children of different ages and from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds – books that could provide some respite for children traumatised by displacement and conflict. Wordless picturebooks were identified as an ideal genre, given they can be enjoyed by children of all ages without the restriction of language barriers. The Lampedusa Library initiative led to the creation of a collection of wordless picturebooks, comprising more than a hundred titles, donated from over twenty countries. One set of this collection remains in Lampedusa while another has evolved into a travelling exhibition, the “Silent Books Project”. Since 2013 this exhibition has toured many countries with the aim of ...

Circuits of aversion: the transnational mediation of multicultural crisis

Circuits of aversion: the transnational mediation of multicultural crisis
(2011)
Titley, Gavan
Abstract:
Since '9/ 11 ', commentators, politicians and media discourse in a range of European contexts have increasingly drawn on narratives of the ' crisis of multiculturalism' to make sense of a broad range of events and political developments. For all this focus, multiculturalism has rarely amounted to more than a patchwork of initiatives, rhetoric and aspirations in any context, and has been subject to a long and well-documented history of 'backlash'. Multiculturalism, therefore, can be approached analytically as a mobilising metaphor and discursive assemblage that facilitates and orders debate on questions of race, legitimacy and belonging. This article examines the transnational mediation of ' multicultural crisis', and explores the cultural dynamics through which a congruent narrative of a ' failed experiment' has. been shaped and circulated. It argues that these transnational dynamics have become politically significant in positioning...

Class, race, gender and the production of knowledge: considerations on the decolonisation of knowledge
(2020)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
How do class, race and gender impact on the production of knowledge? Is it enough to include those who have been excluded from advanced knowledge? Or has knowledge itself been tainted by the exclusions of class, race, gender and colonial conquest? How to proceed with such realisations? How do we decolonise our minds and our universities? Should we repudiate existing knowledge and start again at zero? Or should we return to the indigenous knowledge of our ancestors? Or should we engage in a radical and critical transformation? How has Rhodes Must Fall dramatised these dilemmas? What does Marxism have to offer in working through these issues?

Constructing the Irish of Britain : ethnic recognition and the 2001 UK censuses
(2010)
Howard, Kevin
Abstract:
Systems of ethnic monitoring are of fundamental importance in the context of policy commitments to improving the life-chances of minority ethnic groups. In effect, without a system of ethnic monitoring the targeting, implementation and gauging the outcomes of multicultural policies would be impossible. Primary amongst these systems of ethnic monitoring is the national census. The ethnic data generated comprise the informational foundation of multicultural policy. Moreover, these data are presented as a meaningful representation of ethnic plurality but, despite the validity ascribed to statistical representations of ethnic pluralism, on closer analysis they are shown to be of limited value. On the one hand, the institutionalisation of a particular pattern of ethnic designations has the effect of reifying this pattern, while at the same time it renders conceptually and statistically invisible those minority ethnic groups not included in the original patterning. On the other hand, the ...

Corporate multiculturalism, diversity management, and positive interculturalism in Irish schools and society

Corporate multiculturalism, diversity management, and positive interculturalism in Irish schools and society
(2010)
Bryan, Audrey
Abstract:
This article offers an empirical critique of recent social and educational policy responses to cultural diversity in an Irish context, with a particular focus on antiracism, integration and intercultural education policies developed during the socalled ‘Celtic Tiger’ era. Combining ethnographic and discourse analytic techniques, I highlight the centrality of the Celtic Tiger economy and corporate interests in influencing the particular version of interculturalism promulgated by the Irish state. I argue that broader macro processes and discourses operating at the level of Irish state policy can impact the local school level, resulting in negative consequences for ethnic minority students, particularly those who are least endowed with the cultural and linguistic capital valued by the school and wider society.

Dublin’s spatial narrative: the transition from essentially mono-cultural places to poly-cultural spaces
(2007)
Kelly, Darren
Abstract:
Vital data accessed from the ERHA pertaining to asylum seekers living in Dublin in 2002 was analysed and formatted for use with GIS. The result was the production o f a micro-spatial map showing the distribution of asylum seekers by Electoral Division [ED]. A series of maps was produced at different scales showing various demographic, ethnic and racial variables. Locating the EDs for use with GIS required the researcher to walk throughout the dataset areas whilst observing, reading and photographing these evolving textual landscapes and also interviewing different individuals and community groups. The theoretical lens for this research examined the cultural geography and sociology of space in Dublin using an interdisciplinary approach. It considered in-depth the theories regarding the politics of scale and power associated with space and place. Based on this quantitative analysis and field observation, two central hypotheses were posited and examined: firstly, that ethnic and racial...

Emerging models of intercultural education in Irish primary schools: a critical case study analysis

Emerging models of intercultural education in Irish primary schools: a critical case study analysis
(2013)
Kavanagh, Anne Marie
Abstract:
Taking account of the complex and fluid relationship that exists between social structures and human agency, this dissertation critically explores how intercultural education is conceptualised and practised by teachers and principals in three Irish primary schools. Adopting a whole school approach, it critically explores the models of intercultural education emerging in the schools and examines the extent to which selected variables (leadership, ethos, culture, curriculum, pedagogy, relations) support and determine these models. It also draws on the voice of students to illuminate aspects of teachers’ practice. A review of the literature indicates that while a small number of Irish studies (Bryan, 2008, 2009a, 2009b) have provided critical theoretical insights into intercultural education as conceptualised and practised at second level, no previously published Irish research has provided critical analysis of a whole school approach to intercultural education at primary level.

Face to face with the Muslim “other”: European cinematic responses to Al-Qaeda
(2011)
Caoduro, Elena
Abstract:
The bombings on March 11, 2004 in Madrid and on July 7, 2005 in London brought terror to the heart of Europe and amplified the feelings of fear, disbelief and suspicion developed as a consequence of 9/11 trauma. This article departs from Hollywood discourses on international terrorism to investigate how European cinema reflected upon these tragedies. Focusing on the films Fremder Freund (The Friend, Elmar Fischer, 2003)and London River (Rachid Bouchareb, 2009), it outlines the peculiarities of European cinema in dealing with international terrorism and thus analyses the representation of Islamic fundamentalism and more generally, Muslim communities. The films stimulate the public debate about contemporary society and the role of British and German institutions in developing “home-grown” terrorists. The article argues that these films avoid any explicit attempts of commemorating and memorialising these tragic events, but they contextualise the attacks engaging with issues of multicul...

How French is 'French' sport?
(2016)
Dine, Philip
Abstract:
This article explores how sports in France have responded to the challenges of globalization, and also to the opportunities of an increasingly multicultural society. Two case studies are offered in which a distinctive national model may be seen to have been exposed to powerful transnational forces between 1985 and 2015, a period which also corresponds to sport's digital age. The sports primarily targeted are football and athletics, the most visibly international of modern games, as highlighted by their quadrennial showcases: the World Cup and the Olympic Games. The resulting case studies are intended to suggest some of the ways in which the state, the media and the relevant federations have responded to the multiple challenges of the corporate-financed and electronically mediated ‘global sporting system’. Featured athletes include Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram, Marie-José Pérec and Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad.

Human security as ‘Ethnic Security’ in Kosovo

Human security as ‘Ethnic Security’ in Kosovo
(2010)
Beha, Adem; Visoka, Gëzim
Abstract:
In Kosovo, the concept of human security is invoked in a three-fold manner. First of all, the international community has applied human security for the purpose of maintaining a fragile peace and stability in Kosovo. For the international community, maintaining the fragile peace meant tolerating the establishment and operationalization of Serbian parallel institutions. This leads to the second application of human security: the parallel institutions claim that their existence is necessary to provide human security for the Serbian community in Kosovo. Consequently, this undermines the capacity of Kosovo’s public institutions to exercise legal authority in the north of Kosovo and in other territorial enclaves. Parallel to this, Kosovo’s institutions have viewed the human security approach as a means to prove the institutional capacity of independent self-government to provide inclusive security, welfare, and integration policies for all people in Kosovo, with a special emphasis on eth...

Identities, ideologies, market forces and social sciences
(2007)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
Why does the theme of identities feature so prominently these days? What ideologies are at play in these discourses? What forces are shaping the academic agenda of our times? What is happening to the humanities and social sciences? How have universities changed over recent decades? How have academic disciplines evolved? Why do various forms of neopositivism and postmodernism prevail across various disciplines? Why the mania for metrics, the surveys of the surface, the exotica of deconstruction, the conclusions of inconclusiveness? Why does the most totalising system the world has ever known paralyse totalising thinking? Will marketisation marginalise all else? Will sociologists be stenographers of the surface or seers of the social order?
