본 연구는 성소수자의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보면서, 성소수자의 삶의 만족도 모형을 구축하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 특히 성소수자가 사회적 낙인을 인식하는 정도의 효과에 주목하였으며, 사회적 낙인 인식과 관련하여 나타나는 사회적 상황의 영향을 탐구하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 스트레스-대처 이론을 활용하여 지각된 스트레스로서의 사회적 낙인 인식이 대처자원으로서의 사회적 지지와 자아존중감에 영향을 미치고, 결과적으로 대처방식으로서의 커밍아웃 정도와 대처결과로서의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 과정을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 한국에 거주하는 한국인 성소수자를 연구대상자로 하여, 온라인 서베이를 실시하여 총 478명에 대한 자료를 수집하였다. 분석방법으로 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 측정모형 분석을 통해서 측정의 질을 평가하고, 구조모형 분석을 통해서 이론적 모형에 포함된 변수의 영향관계에 대한 검증을 하였다. 분석결과, 사회적 낙인 인식은 직접적으로 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라, 사회적 지지와 자아존중감, 그리고 커밍아웃을 매개로 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 이성애자 지지의 매개효과는 유의미하게 나타나지 않았다. 그리고 성소수자 지지는 커밍아웃을 통해 간접적으로 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 분석결과를 토대로, 성소수자들에 대한 사회적 낙인, 사회적 지지, 자아존중감, 그리고 커밍아웃과 관련한 실천적 전략을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 스스로를 단일 민족 국가라고 여기는 한국 사회가 민족적 우월성이라는 이데올로기와 인종적으로 계층화된 질서를 재확인 하는 도구로서의 미디어 담론을 어떻게 생산하는가에 초점을 두고 있다. 전세계적 공공 미디어 모델과 마찬가지로, 한국의 공영 방송은 계층, 나이, 인종, 성별, 이데올로기의 구분없이 공공의 경험과 의견들을 불편부당하게 재현해야 하는 의무가 있다. 이러한 책무에도 불구하고 한국의 대표적 공영방송 KBS는 한국 사회 내의 다양한 문화적 집단들을 공정하게 재현해 내는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 한국 공영방송에서 재현되는 이주민들에 대한 뉴스 제작 과정에서 1차적 게이트키퍼로서의 취재기자들을 인터뷰함으로써 이주민들과 다문화에 대한 그들의 인식과 평가를 분석하였다. 그 결과 KBS의 일선 취재기자들은 다문화와 이주민에 대한 정형화된 스테레오타입을 가지고 있었고, 이주민들과 관련된 기사를 생산함에 있어서 KBS 내부의 취재 관행에 크게 의존하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers. This study aimed to compare the uptake of CRC testing in the general public and in ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey covered 2,327 South Asian and Chinese adults aged over 50, recruited from two separate studies. A structured questionnaires were administered by research staff over the telephone or in faceto-face interviews. Results: The uptake rate of CRC testing among South Asians was significantly lower than that of the general population in Hong Kong. Factors associated with the uptake rate were health professional's recommendation, perception of regular visits to doctor, use of complementary therapy, ethnicity, perceived susceptibility to cancer, presence of chronic illness, and education level. In addition, a significant interaction (p<0.05) between ethnicity and health professionals' recommendations was found, after adjustment for the main independent factors identified. Conclusions: Older people with lower educational attainment, without chronic illness and those have lower perceived susceptibility to cancer may be targeted for CRC testing promotion in the society. In addition, health professionals can play a highly influential role in promoting such testing, particularly among ethnic minorities.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of Chinese minority women's waistbands, in view of their lifestyle, costume, and symbolism. The research method combined literature research and case study. In the case study, this research targeted the secondary data of a total of 215 pieces from books, articles and the internet. A total of 5 pieces per each representative women's waistband of 43 minorities, excluding those who did not wear a waistband, we collected. We then quantitatively analyzed the form and decoration of the waistbands. As a result of considering the form, the waistbands of Chinese minorities per region were closely related to the costumes, mainly showing high similarity in respect to color and decoration. Moreover, the decorations of the waistbands were most often made from their own area's special products, such as silver, bronze, cotton, and linen, amongst other. The form and decoration of the Chinese minority women's waistbands were all connected with functionality, aesthetic impression, and symbolism, which can be said to be an important part of understanding Chinese minority costume culture. This research contributes to the development and preservation of Chinese minorities' costume culture by considering and analyzing unique costume factors besides giving excellent fashion design ideas for contemporary fashion.

Climate-related events unevenly affect society, worsening mental health disparities among vulnerable populations. This paper highlights that lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, queers, and other individuals identifying as sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) (LGBTQ+) could be considered a climate-vulnerable population in the Philippines, one of the most climate-vulnerable countries. As such, this paper elucidated that LGBTQ+ Filipinos can be marginalized in climate response efforts due to their sexual orientation and gender minority identities. According to the minority stress theory, discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals may predispose them to mental health problems. Thus, there is a need to institute an LGBTQ+ inclusive mental health response for climate-related events to address discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals and uphold their mental health.

This research investigates the impact of vocational training on wages of ethnic minority labors in emerging countries; Vietnam is the case study. The study uses secondary data from 2014 to 2018 collected through Vietnam Household Living Standards Surveys (VHLSS) conducted by the General Statistics Office. In order to analyze the impact of vocational training on wages of ethnic minority areas in Vietnam, this research creates ethnic area variables. According to Vietnamese regulations, ethnic areas are communes of 51 different provinces, inhabited by ethnic minority people. The statistics from VHLSS in 2018, show that the proportion of labors of working age with a certificate was 22.5%. The research employs Heckman Sample Selection Model to estimate the impact of vocation training on wage of labors in ethnic minority areas. The results show that vocational training plays a crucial role in improving the wages of ethnic minorities and has a positive impact. However, apart from the achieved outcomes, vocational training and job creation for ethnic minorities are not without limitations and shortcomings. Based on the findings, some recommendations to ethnic minority labors, enterprises and the Government are proposed to encourage participation in vocational training for the purpose of promoting the efficiency of the labor market.

Arif Dirlik in Postmodernity's Histories sees the issue of re-ethnicization in the case of John Huang, China's alleged attempt at lobbying the Clinton administration. In this view, Americans with Chinese surnames were suspected by the US Justice Department to be possible spies working for Beijing. Reethnicization here seems to serve the mainstream society in reducing an ethnic minority to a group of aliens operating for their countries of origin. However, re-ethnicization is not necessarily a one-way oppressive operation; it is often made use of by the ethnic minorities in their efforts to adapt to their country of arrival. Haroon and Karim, the protagonists of Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia, are cases in point. They are portrayed as winning social recognition and securing a place of their own within the hostile host society through a strategic use of re-ethnicization, that is, masquerading as 'genuine Orientals.' This study brings to light possible fallacies or misguided expectations concerning the political position of first- and second-generation immigrants. One of the fallacies is found in the racist metropolis, which regards the ethnic minorities as a sort of resident aliens, no matter what immigrant generation the latter belongs to. Another fallacy is found in the kind of postcolonial criticism that automatically regards an anti-racist critique advanced by people like Kureishi as something motivated by a confrontational tactic, that is, an attempt at subverting the colonial power relations. The conclusion of this study is that Kureishi's agenda, as presented in The Buddha of Suburbia, is neither the preservation of an ethnic identity nor the subversion of colonial power relations but survival in the metropolis. On this account Kureish's agenda can be called a micro-politics.

본 연구는 R 3.4를 이용하여 1920년부터 2017년까지 국내 언론기사를 분석하여 약 100여 년간 언론을 통해서 재현된 성소수자 담론을 고찰하고, 성소수자에 대한 '투사적 혐오'에 대항하는 '투쟁하는 예술'로서 영화의 역할에 주목했다. 영화 속 성소수자들은 혐오스러운 이가 아니다. 우리의 일상에서 이미 알고 있던 사람이고, 단지 성적지향이 다를 뿐이다. 일반적으로 성소수자는 직접 대면할 가능성이 적다는 점에서 미디어가 재현하는 내용을 통해 그들을 경험하고 인식하게 된다. 성소수자에 대한 미디어 재현은 사회 저변에 깔려있는 문제를 표면 위로 공론화시킴으로써 우리사회의 주요 의제를 만들어 낸다는 점에서 주목할 만하다. 미디어의 재현은 주류의 시선에서 소외되고 기피대상으로 여겨지는 문제를 전면에 드러내고 부각시킴으로써 사회적 담론으로 부상하게 한다. 미디어가 제공하는 콘텐츠는 직접 경험해보지 않은 대상을 입체적으로 체험을 할 수 있게 하며, 사회를 올바르게 인식하고 판단하는데 결정적인 영향력을 행사한다. 이는 문화콘텐츠가 시위나 항의와 같은 방법을 동원하지 않고 자연스럽게 투사적 혐오에 대항할 수 있는 인정투쟁의 강력한 무기가 될 수 있음을 시사한다.
