  • Résumé

  • 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.

    Code switching is something many people do and experience, often without realising 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.
