Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article considers the construction of a “brown” identity among Punjabi young men living in Surrey, British Columbia. The meaning of brown for these teenagers is discussed to illustrate how conceptualizations of ethnicity/race are tied to those of masculinity and how brown has evolved as an alternative way of “doing male.” Brown, as articulated by a group of Punjabi teenagers at a public secondary school in Surrey, is shown to not only contest their White peers’ masculinity but also to confronts their fathers’ version and the media's portrayal of the typical Indo-Canadian man or “Surrey Jack”—a form of protest masculinity (Connell, 2005 Connell, R. W. 2005. Masculinities , 2nd ed., Berkeley and Los Angeles, CA: University of California Press. [Google Scholar]).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
