Modern Malaysian-Based Students Perceive Southeast Asian Jungle Environments as Places of High Risk and Discomfort
While the interaction between people and their environments has long been a focus of psychological research, there is need for more understanding of how non-Westerners relate to natural and urban environments, including areas of dense jungle. For this study we conducted focus group discussions with 19 individuals from the urban Southeast Asian city of Kuala Lumpur and 19 individuals from the rural Malaysian state of Terengganu centered on their e…
Globalisation, commercialisation, and learning to play at KidZania Kuala Lumpur
This article examines KidZania Kuala Lumpur – an 'edutainment park' in Malaysia – within the context of the literature on play and the literature on globalisation. Changes in young Malaysian's experiences of play resulting from globalisation and global corporate interests point to broader changes in Malaysian society. While KidZania claims to provide edutainment through role-play, it seems that the children's play is often highly structured. Whil…
Men's netball or gender-neutral netball
In this article I examine whether justice in New Zealand is better served through the provision of gender-inclusive or gender-segregated men's netball competitions (where netball began as a late 19th century women's version of basketball). While the New Zealand Men's Netball Association (henceforth called the 'men's association') was initially established in 1984 under an inclusive ethos rooted in Māori community-based and fa'afafine1-based compe…
Transgender Netballers
Transgender people are increasingly tolerated, and sometimes even actively celebrated, within contemporary Western popular culture. However, despite the broader political movement against gender-based discrimination, transgender people’s participation in élite sport remains contentious. Although American transgender professional tennis player Renee Richards drew attention to transgender athletes as early as the mid-1970s, even major sports organi…
Jihad, Race and Western Media, Post-September 11
The article examines jihad within what is loosely referred to as “the Western imagination.” Through the analysis of both popular stereotypes and the broader historical context of religious antagonism and (neo)colonialism, the paper discusses both contemporary political rhetoric and a pair of liberal post September-11 political cartoons. While European and North American political leaders have often stereotyped Muslims in order to justify various …
Dress as a man
This article is based on 13 open-ended interviews with current and former executive council members of the New Zealand Men's Netball Association (NZMNA). The article disputes the established view that regional women's netball associations and New Zealand's national netball association, Netball New Zealand (NNZ), fostered men's netball competitions in the early 1980s. The article instead argues that men's netball was developed by players prevented…
Imagine, a Man Playing Netball
This article provides a textual analysis of selected media representations of men's netballers in New Zealand, an analysis of interviews with members of the Otago men's netball team, and a brief description of the author's participant-observation research in this area. The article discusses and challenges stereotypical representations of men who play netball - a sport originally designed specifically for women, and historically dominated by women…
