I partied my way to [my] Hungary’
The Balassi Institute is Hungary’s cultural diplomacy organisation. The Institute’s 10-month ‘Balassi program’ invites Hungarians from the diaspora to participate in a culturally immersive and educational experience in Hungary. This paper draws on interviews with 17 Hungarian-Australians who attended the programme between 2001 and 2018. Bourdieu’s Habitus, capital and ‘field of possibles’ are used to analyse their experiences of belonging during …
Constructing Hungarian ‘good-will ambassadors’

Land is made culture through story and song, told at family gatherings, and sung at schools and on hiking trips. Icelandic identity was built on this imagining, coupled to a vision of Icelanders as an exceptional people, a Viking race. The events of the Global Financial Crisis (G…

Drawing on both local social and political debates, while contextualising the discussion in wider global debates about changing religious identities, especially the growth of Islam, the authors present a critical anal…
Australian Aboriginal Muslims in Prison
Australian Aboriginal Muslims in prison are a minority population that has provoked public and political concerns due to its conversion to Islam. In the past decade, Muslims across the globe have become all but synonymous with terror in the global debate, and have frequently suffered forms of social exclusion. Aboriginal Muslim prisoners, having survived on the margins of Australian society, now find themselves branded through the impact of globa…
