We draw on an intersectional approach to analyze student data from the Toronto District School Board. We employ multilevel logistic regression to examine if there are interactive effects of being both racialized and having an immigrant status on confirming a university enrollment.

This study thus feeds into the debate between the distinction framework (focusing on the highbrow/lowbrow opposition) and the omnivorism thesis (distinguishing between omnivorous and univorous groups) in cultural sociology. From Latent Class Analysis (LCA), this study identifies five clusters, which differentiate people practicing either or both cultural and outdoor activities. The clusters are labelled as follow: “tele-univore,” “digital indoor,” “conventional indoor,” “outdoor univore,” and “omnivore.” Binary logistic regressions reveal that education, age and rural/urban identity are the key factors in identifying who practices which activities. The findings are threefold. First, while confirming the omnivore theory, our results show that cultural capital matters more than economic capital in explaining who participates in which activities. Second, rural people tend to be slightly more engaged than urban people in consumptive and motorized outdoor activities and less in all cultural activities. Third, the shift to digitization and the increase in outdoor activities appears to have exacerbated the divide between older and younger generations.</p>","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10812370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current sociopolitical moment begs the following question: how do interpersonal interactional moments function alongside formal policies and rules to shape trans athletes’ experiences of belonging in sport? Although formal institutional rules govern trans athletes’ ability to compete in sport, informal social sanctioning also denies these athletes equitable, or even de facto, membership in sport. I draw upon two case studies to explore trans athletes’ experiences of membership in elite “women's” sport. I apply Evelyn Nakano Glenn's work on citizenship to consider how trans athletes’ experiences of belonging are influenced by both formal rules imposed by organizations as well as informal social interactions with members of their sporting communities. Inclusion is not synonymous with membership.

Choi,&nbsp;Patrick Denice","doi":"10.1111/cars.12420","DOIUrl":"10.1111/cars.12420","url":null,"abstract":"<p>As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and spread across Canada in early 2020, there was an urgent need to determine whether and how its health, social, and economic consequences were distributed across population groups in Canada, particularly by race/ethnicity. This proved to be challenging. Although data on COVID-19 infections and deaths were available for Canada and its provinces, high-quality, individual-level data about the race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics of those infected with COVID-19 was limited (Choi et al., <span>2021</span>). This data vacuum made it extremely difficult to assess whether there were racial/ethnic disparities in the vulnerability to the pandemic, especially early on.</p><p>Even before the pandemic, researchers have pointed out that data on race/ethnicity has been largely unavailable and inaccessible in Canada, which makes it difficult to meaningfully investigate issues of equity, opportunity, and (dis)advantage among racialized groups in Canada (e.g., Robson, <span>2021</span>). Canada's data landscape stands in stark contrast to the United States and the United Kingdom. For instance, unlike the U.S. census, the Canadian census does not explicitly ask respondents to report their race. Rather, respondents are asked to select their identity from a list of categories that conflate race, ethnicity, and national origin. This means that Canadian research on race/ethnicity is often hamstrung by missing demographic data and by an overreliance on the White v. “visible minority” binary—a broad, rather unhelpful catch-all category that eschews variation in the experiences of different racialized groups.</p><p>The lack of race-based information in Canadian data reflects a long history of resistance to or ambivalence about race. Policymakers and researchers have displayed a reluctance to highlight differences among Canadians or to point out the ways in which we fall short of Canada's policy and national identity of multiculturalism. However, refusing to acknowledge the existence of racial inequalities, discrimination, and racism generally has the effect of exacerbating disparities and hindering our ability to address them head on (Thompson, <span>2008</span>). By not collecting detailed race-based data, we weaken our ability to document the ways in which social, political, and economic institutions in Canada are racialized and the unequal outcomes experienced by racial minorities in the labour market, education, the criminal justice and immigration systems, and elsewhere (Reitz &amp; Banerjee, <span>2007</span>).</p><p>To this end, one of our goals for this themed section of Canadian sociology's flagship journal was to highlight the exciting work being done on the topic—and particularly the innovative ways researchers are marshalling data to tell important stories about racial/ethnic inequality in Canada.

Chinese immigrant online daters show strong preferences for dating Chinese. They emphasize permanent residency status and similarity in age at arrival when evaluating potential partners. Given their preferences, Chinese immigrants strategically choose the dating platforms they primarily use. Men exhibit higher selectivity in their preferences and choices of platforms.

As such, one would expect that hearing such assertion from the Prime Minister, then under his leadership, we would have seen the unsatisfactory social, economic, educational, employment, and health conditions of Black Canadians being addressed knowing the historical “legacy of systemic anti-Black racism.” But it might be that such language is reflective of the current context in which worldwide protests following the murder of George Floyd (May 25, 2020) by a Minneapolis police officer in the US1 and the racial reckoning that it generated, have resulted in a discourse of “Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization” (EDID). This discourse espoused by educational institutions, social agencies, business establishments, and government bureaucracies is taken to be an indication of their commitment to addressing the needs, interests, expectations, and aspirations of racialized members of society that they serve or are expected to serve.</p><p>Indigenous and Black Canadians are two racialized groups that have been identified as needing special or purposeful measures by which they would be able to gain access to employment, education, social, health and other services. Indeed, data have long shown that Indigenous and Black people continue to experience barriers to their participation in these areas; and as such, tend to be under-represented (Briggs, <span>2018</span>; James, <span>2021</span>; Thompson, <span>2018</span>), even as legislation, policies, reports and programs like Multiculturalism (1971), Employment Equity (1984), Truth and Reconciliation (2015) and other such mechanisms are thought to signal governments’, businesses’, and institutions’ commitment – and that of society generally – to accommodating and responding to the needs, concerns, issues and challenges of minoritized Canadians. But clearly, these mechanisms have failed to change the situation for these Canadians because if they did, there would be no need for today's education and employment initiatives to specifically identify Indigenous and Black people. In other words, if indeed, all minoritized or racialized people were benefitting from the promise of multiculturalism and Employment Equity policies and programs, then today's EDID initiatives would not have had to specially target Black people.</p><p>Why only in recent years – particularly during this period of racial reckoning – are Canadians prepared to recruit Black and Indigenous peoples into their establishments through EDID initiatives? A possible answer to this question might be that historically Canadians – socialized by their institutions – have maintained that unlike the United States, it is “culture” (typically attributed to being immigrants) and not “race” that accounts for the differences among ethnoracial group members.
