Gaelic Sports, Home and Away: Building Community and Identity through Sport
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research is concerned with Gaelic sports participation in Victoria BC. Through interviews with members of the local Gaelic sports club, the Van Isle Rovers, this research examines the motivations for playing these sports and the club as a community of practice and site of situated learning where, through mutual participation and practice, members learn and share knowledge of these sports and construct team identities. The materiality of these sports is also examined, focusing on the way in which participation and engagement with the uniquely Irish materials of these sports lead to person-thing entanglement and connect people not only to the team and these sports but also to the sporting history, traditions, and land of Ireland. Lastly, this paper focuses on dynamic performances of identity through the playing of these sports and engaging with Irish language and culture within the club, as well as the formation and celebration of hybrid Canadian Irish and other identities. In the end, it is determined that Gaelic sports can serve as a vehicle through which Irish culture can be mobilized to build community, form social bonds, celebrate, teach, and preserve Irish culture.

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.
