Negotiating 'Ethno-racialised' Understandings of Autism: A Cultural Sociological Analysis of the Construction and Representation of Autism in Relation to Ethnicity and Race. University of Antwerp

Center for Ethics, University of Illinois at Chicago, VU University Amsterdam, Centre for Research on Environmental and Social Change

This project is one of the first in-depth cultural sociological explorations into autism's ethnic and racial inequalities. It critically examines how ethnicity and race become (in)visible in how autism is constructed and represented as both a medical category and an identity. While we know from gender studies that autism has been strongly shaped and represented as masculine, resulting in gender disparities in autism rates, constructions and ...

Challenging Crossroads: A Critical Discourse Analysis on the Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, Ethnicity, Sexuality and Ensuing Discursive Counterreactions in Female Apartheid Narratives Ghent University

Yves T'Sjoen

Department of Literary Studies

Between 1948 and 1994, the National Party installed the apartheid regime in South Africa, based on the communicating vessels of racism and sexism, which permeated the entire country and its inhabitants. Its discriminatory effects were not only tangible for darker skinned people, but also for women, people of the lower class, ethnic minority groups and persons with a sexual orientation diverging from the heteronormative ideal. When two or more ...

When does ethnicity become important? Toward a comparative analytic of processes of symbolic boundary work and 'ethnicization' in two Flemish cities KU Leuven

Gert Verschraegen, Karel Arnaut

Social and Cultural Anthropology

This project proposes a comparative, ethnographic study of ethnic boundary work in two Flemish superdiverse city-contexts: Antwerp and Ghent. By ethnic boundary work we mean that actors use ethnic categories to distinguish between in- and out-groups ('us' and 'them'). The study aims to shed light on the dynamics of group-formation and ethnic division in superdiverse contexts and is informed by somewhat contradictory ...

Considering ethnicity in forensic mental health care: Experiences of migrant and ethnic minority service users and their service providers Ghent University

Stijn Vandevelde, Freya Vander Laenen

Department of Criminology, Criminal Law and Social Law, Department of Special Needs Education

Despite their relative overrepresentation in a forensic psychiatric context, (the needs of) people from migrant and ethnic minority (MEM) groups have long been overlooked. Contrary to a large body of evidence in regular mental health care, it remains unclear how MEM forensic service users recover and how they desist from crime. The Good Lives Model, as a leading strengths-based rehabilitation framework, is regarded as a promising avenue. One ...

Chinese Philosophy and its Religious Minorities: ethnicity, religion, and national identity in modern Chinese thought and the discipline of "ethnic minority philosophies" Ghent University

Bart Dessein

Department of Languages and Cultures

This project seeks to rethink the history of modern Chinese thought by providing the first ever study of the academic discipline of “ethnic minority philosophies” in the People’s Republic of China. It will focus on the much neglected relation between the imported categories of “philosophy” and “religion” and conceptions of ethnicity in twentieth-century and contemporary Chinese thought. The field of ethnic minority philosophies emerged in the ...

Perceptions of the Self and the Other in contemporary Burundi. The salience of ethnicity in everyday interactions in a post-transition context. University of Antwerp

Development processes, actors and policies

Since independence (1962), the 'ethnic' conflict between Hutu and Tutsi in Burundi led to thousands of deaths on both sides. In 2000, the signature of the Arusha peace agreement inaugurated a transition period towards peace and democracy. Thanks to the agreement, political competition was de-ethnicized, and political parties no longer represented a single ethnic group. At the local level, people could progressively return to their occupations. ...

Research into the experiences of LGB's at the intersection of ethnicity and sexual identity. University of Antwerp

Alexander Dhoest

Antwerp Media in Society Centre (AMSoC)

This research is based on the limited acceptance of LGB sexuality in certain groups of foreign origin, as recently observed in the survey Living Together in Diversity. Behind these numbers, however, there is a complex reality, so we should be cautious not to generalize too quickly to entire countries of origin. Moreover, this research shows what acceptance correlates with, but not why. For this kind of explanations, which can also lead to ...

Ethnicity after mass violence. A study of the nature and transformation of ethnic 'groupness' in Rwanda and Burundi. University of Antwerp
