In the shadow of multiculturalism: leisure, gender, and race in the refugee experience in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This critical commentary examines the leisure experiences of racialized girls and women refugees in Canada through an intersectional lens, foregrounding the complex socio-political and cultural power relations that shape their access to, and engagement in, leisure. The article offers an evaluative analysis of existing scholarship to deepen understandings of how leisure is constrained and shaped by intersecting systems of oppression. In foregrounding intersectional analysis, this commentary underscores that leisure for racialized girls and women refugees cannot be understood or advanced within assimilationist or neoliberal models. Instead, it requires a sustained intersectional analysis of how existing immigration, resettlement, and leisure policies reinforce systems of exclusion, while also recognizing the resilience and agency of racialized girls and women refugees in negotiating these barriers. By advocating for intercultural and justice-oriented leisure frameworks, this paper calls for structural transformation that recenters the voices, needs, and cultural knowledges of racialized refugees in Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
