mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">As questions of social inclusion and citizenship continue to frame official discourses on cultural diversity, it becomes
increasingly necessary to ask about belonging. However the range of cultural formations to which we might belong, and the different sites and strategies by which we claim belonging complicate these efforts to ask. My paper draws from a research project investigating
cultural participation, diversity and citizenship, and which seeks to develop a framework of measurement in relation to these questions. In highlighting the difficulty of this task of measurement I consider what is at stake when we ask about belonging – in
particular, the disconnect between policy discourses of cultural diversity and the complexity of people’s lived cultural worlds. </span></p>
