<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:black">Peer pressure, Tinder ‘dic pics’, “I’m not racist, I just prefer Asian women…” For Chinese international students in Sydney, navigating the local dating scene is complicated, to say the
least. Besides the obvious question of “how”, the hidden, and arguably, more important question is “why” and “what does it all mean?” Xi Chen, recently finishing her Honours thesis at the University of Sydney, aims to answer these questions by zooming in onto
the intersection of race, sexuality and power that Chinese sojourners navigate in Sydney on a daily basis. Using an approach informed by key thinkers in epistemic injustices and intersectional feminism, this talk aims to shed light on the hidden risk and danger
in the everyday life of non-white sojourners inhabiting a white social space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The increased promotion of women's sport in Australia - which has coincided with an increase in professional career opportunities for sportswomen - is a welcome and overdue change in a traditionally male-dominated
field. Greg Joachim, who is using Design Thinking in his doctoral research on sports, will present two contrasting case studies that are central to this shift. The first is that of Cricket Australia, who have gone from strength to strength in their move toward
gender equity (though work still remains in reaching true parity). The second is AFL Women's (AFLW), who have recently attracted scrutiny for questionable - and potentially discriminatory - management decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Muslim Women and Sport in Sydney: Moving beyond the 'Challenging Stereotypes' Model</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Dr. Jennifer Cheng, Career Development Research Fellow, Western Sydney University</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">When we think of Muslim women playing AFL or participating in swimming, 'challenging stereotypes' may come to mind. However, this may firstly, reinforce stereotypes of Muslim women as submissive
and inactive, and secondly, come across as patronising to the women who want to take part in physical activities without any agendas. Presenting Muslim women playing sport as 'normal' while simultaneously making them an object of research becomes a challenge.
This talk will look at the behind the scenes challenges of conducting research on Muslim women and sport, as well as at preliminary research findings. Three groups of participants will be explored: Muslim women who play AFL, Muslim women who are members of
a swimming group, and Muslim mothers whose children learn AFL. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
