This book is the outcome of an Australian Research Council
(ARC)-funded project titled Assessing the Australian Football
League's Racial and Religious Vilification Laws to Promote
Community Harmony, Multiculturalism and Reconciliation, which
investigated the impact of the Australian Football League's
anti-vilification policy since its introduction in 1995. With key
stakeholders the Australian Football League, the AFL Players'
Association and the Office of Multicultural Affairs (previously the
Victorian Multicultural Commission), the book gauges the attitudes
and perspectives of players and coaches in the AFL regarding Rule
35, the code's anti-vilification rule. The overarching themes of
multiculturalism, reconciliation and social harmony in the AFL
workplace have been the guiding ideals that we examined and
analysed. The outcomes from the research vectors look at and engage
with key issues about race, diversity and difference as it pertains
to the elite AFL code, but also looks at the ongoing international
conversation as it pertains to these themes in sport. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Knowledge of the terms sex and gender has important political,
health and equity considerations. This book investigates a
macro-structural social theory of gender (Connell, 1995), which
proposes a relational and hierarchical conception of gender, and
explores it in local social contexts. As the theory of gender is
primarily concerned with differing configurations of masculinity,
most notably hegemonic masculinity (a dominative form of
masculinity), this book focuses on males and their relations with
one another in secondary schools and all-male elite-level sporting
teams. Specifically, this book overcomes a major theoretical
impasse by recognizing that the ideology of supremacy of a
dominative masculinity is necessarily interdependent with the
structural relations of power and culturally defined norms of
masculinity. Relations between masculinities are reframed into
specific social network hypotheses, and quantitatively examined
using statistical models for social networks. Hierarchies of
masculinities that are misogynist, homophobic and violent can
occur, though local context is particularly important and
alternative non-dominative masculinities are possible.
Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) are increasingly applied to
observed network data and are central to understanding social
structure and network processes. The chapters in this edited volume
provide a self-contained, exhaustive account of the theoretical and
methodological underpinnings of ERGMs, including models for
univariate, multivariate, bipartite, longitudinal and
social-influence type ERGMs. Each method is applied in individual
case studies illustrating how social science theories may be
examined empirically using ERGMs. The authors supply the reader
with sufficient detail to specify ERGMs, fit them to data with any
of the available software packages and interpret the results.
