“…Although the concept of intersectionality is not commonly used in the data, many of the articles take “intersecting systems” (Bugg, 2014) as a starting point of research. The studies discuss, for example, intersectional negotiations and collisions between gender, religion, and ethnicity (Bugg, 2014); indigenousness, class, gender, and caste (Gerharz, 2014); homosexuality and religion (Lustenberger, 2014); whiteness and indigenousness (Sonn et al, 2014); and gender and disability (Pestka and Wendt, 2014). The studies emphasizing the intersectional approach in the data indicate how belonging – however individual the experience of it may be – always comprises social and political dimensions.…”

Studies framing “belonging” as a key focus and a central concept of research have increased significantly in the 2000s. This article explores the dimensions of belonging as a scholarly concept. The investigation is based on a qualitative content analysis of articles published in academic journals covering a large number of different disciplines. The article poses and answers the following research questions: How is belonging understood and used in contemporary research? What added value does the concept bring to scholarly discussions? In the analysis, five topoi of conceptualizing belonging – spatiality, intersectionality, multiplicity, materiality, and non-belonging – were identified. After introducing the topoi, the article explores their cross-cutting dimensions, such as the emphasis on the political, emotional, and affective dimensions of belonging, and discusses key observations made from the data, such as the substantial proportion of research on minorities and “vulnerable” people. The analysis of the data suggests that by choosing to use the concept of belonging, scholars seek to emphasize the fluid, unfixed, and processual nature of diverse social and spatial attachments.

“…This is partly due to the fact that Israel's traditional culture is rooted in Judaism, which is based on the religious authority of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish Law (i.e., Halacha), both of which firmly disapprove of homosexuality (Slomowitz, Feit, 2015). As such, the stigma cast on homosexuals is enhanced, influencing the intersection between traditionalism and sexuality (Lustenberger, 2014).…”

The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationships between Israeli gender role stereotypes, rape myths toward male and female victims, and social distance from sex crime victims and sex offenders, according to the observer?s sex and sexual orientation (gay men, lesbian women, and heterosexual men and women). The data was collected during the end of 2016 and included 401 Israeli participants. A multivariate analysis of variance, as well as series of Pearson analyses, were used to examine the differences between groups as well as to examine the correlations between research variables. Results broadly conformed to predictions, with men generally more negative than women. However, people with a same-sex orientation endorse more liberal gender role attitudes than heterosexuals. In addition, overall, participants expressed greater willingness to maintain social contacts with victims than with offenders. Nonetheless, only among heterosexuals significant negative correlations between rape myths and willingness to maintain social contacts with victims were found.

“…So, to introduce these important papers: in ‘Religious and Sexual Orientation Intersections in Education and Media: A Canadian Perspective’, Heather Shipley (2014) challenges the ways in which religious and sexually diverse identities are constructed as oppositional, using the example of the Accepting Schools Act. In ‘Questions of Belonging: Same-Sex Parenthood and Judaism in Transformation’, Sibylle Lustenberger (2014) explores how same-sex couples assert the legitimacy of their families in Jewish Israeli society, maintaining rather than rejecting religious practices and definitions. In ‘Re-Imagining Bisexuality and Christianity: The Negotiation of Christianity in the Lives of Bisexual Women and Men’, Alex Toft (2014) examines faith re-imaginings, in the context of respondents being denied access to institutionalised Christianity.…”
