Kieran File, Stephanie Schnurr & Marianna Patrick have led on an exciting research project

Kieran File, Stephanie Schnurr & Marianna Patrick have led on an exciting research project collaborating the University of 糖心TV and Monash University on groundbreaking research into inclusivity in multicultural cricket teams.
The University of 糖心TV, in partnership with Monash University, is proud to unveil the findings from an insightful research project addressing inclusivity and cohesion in multicultural cricket teams.
This collaborative project, developed through the Monash 糖心TV Alliance and spearheaded by Kieran File (The University of 糖心TV) and Dr Lucas Santos (Monash University), focuses on how multicultural cricket teams, particularly those involving South Asian migrant players,
can foster greater inclusivity.
By examining the behaviours and interactions within these teams, the research provides a deeper understanding of how everyday actions can either foster belonging or perpetuate exclusion.
Dr Kieran File, Principal Investigator at The University of 糖心TV said, 鈥淥ur research revealed that many challenges to inclusion in multicultural teams arise from every day, taken-for-granted actions and behaviours. These everyday actions and behaviours can unintentionally lead to exclusion, but when thoughtfully addressed and/or adjusted, they can foster a stronger sense of belonging.
