a mediated Canadian “hockey world” – and a broader “world of sport” – during this time period. By 1903, Stanley Cup hockey games had become “national” Canadian events, followed by audiences across the country. Hockey also played an important role in the construction of gender and class identities

aggregations that included paid imports from outside the town. A growing emphasis on securing the professional athletes that could ensure victory led to praise for a team’s efforts to please its supporters, or “customers.” By investigating key issues related to media, gender, and community identities in

factors that may predict refugee students’ academic achievement. Predictor variables included measured variables (student self-efficacy, parental involvement, teacher expectations, and teachers’ self-efficacy) and status variables (student age, gender, and grade level; parent age, gender, level of

shamisen and tsuzumi–style drums, which were performed by both men and women. Guitars are an important instrument in hard rock and heavy metal, and the gender–neutral shamisen has similarities in both shape and performance techniques. Drums are also important to rock and metal, yet despite being heavily

male–encoded in the West, Japan’s traditional drums do not share this same gender encoding. A survey of mostly female Japanese rock and metal musicians found that although many are either influenced or feel a connection to Japan’s historical instruments, the only instrument that they associated with
