Connecting Diversity: Paradoxes of Multicultural Australia

Connecting Diversity: Paradoxes of Multicultural Australia examines and analyses the views and experiences of younger Australians from culturally diverse backgrounds. Most significantly, it reveals a series of paradoxes in younger people's appreciation and understanding of multiculturalism in Australia. It questions common presumptions and reveals complexities in their attitudes to diversity and media. The report includes calls to action for media organisations in better reflecting contemporary Australian society and in engaging younger people as audiences and as citizens. Commissioned by SBS, and published in March 2006, Connecting Diversity: Paradoxes of Multicultural Australia is a follow-up study to SBS's 2002 report, Living Diversity: Australia's Multicultural Future
