Who We Are

Identity is nuanced and complex, and can mean different things to different people. This is illustrated in the changing face of multicultural Australia, home to one of the world's oldest continuous cultures, and over seven million people born overseas. But numbers only go so far. In this SBS News podcast, Hannah Kwon seeks to understand what identity means in Australia today through the lens of relationships, media representation, language and code switching. Hear from writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law on Asian-Australian media representation, the Scanlon Foundation's Trish Prentice on interracial relationships and Geoff Anderson on how learning his Indigenous heritage language helped saved his life, among others.

    Who we are: Code switching - What is it and why do we do it?

While code switching is extremely nuanced and contextual, it’s often experienced to a heightened degree for people from racially marginalised backgrounds, especially in situations where they feel culturally unsafe. In this episode Hannah Kwon speaks to mental health and intersectionality expert Budi Sudarto and youth advocate Catherine Madziva on both their positive and negative experiences with code switching.

    Who we are: How accurately are we portrayed on our screens?

    Identity can mean different things to different people. Films and shows are often the first idea we get about people outside of our own communities. But how accurate is the representation of modern Australia that we see on our screens? This is 'Who We Are', a special podcast series where we take a closer look at what identity means in Australia today. This episode explores how identity is represented through the arts.

    Who we are: Interracial dating and relationships in Australia

    About a third of all registered marriages in Australia are intercultural. Experts say the increase in such relationships in Australia, marriage or otherwise, reflects a sense of social cohesion and acceptance more broadly. But interracial marriage was once frowned upon and restricted by the state. This, coupled with an added social pressure, sought to discourage people from engaging in intercultural relationships. This episode of Who we are explores the history of interracial relationships in Australia, and their associated triumphs and challenges. Hannah Kwon chats with Chinese-born writer Angie Cui – who had three separate weddings with her Bangladeshi husband – along with Kenyan-born Stella Adlike, who met her husband while studying at university in Perth. Hear from Carolyn Cage, who speaks about navigating her identity as a mixed raced Australian and law graduate Helen Nguyen’s negative experiences with relationship power imbalances and the Scanlon Foundation’s Trish Prentice.
