In this thesis project I critically investigate the experiences of past Play Around the World (PAW) student-volunteers in relation to the institutional tensions, borders and policies they willingly and unwilling negotiate upon engagement with the PAW program. This project is historically situated within literature of international development and sport for development and peace, and takes into account the context inherent in international volunteering. Using a case study approach, I employ a combination of methods including Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis of key policy documents concerning the PAW program, as well as interviews with past student-volunteers. I explore the experiences of past PAW student-volunteers through the cultural theory of Raymond Williams (1977; 1980), which encourages a critique that entertains the complex interplay of social, economic, political and cultural processes that come together to legitimize a social phenomenon like the PAW program. By using PAW as a case to explore experiences of past student-volunteers within sport for development and peace, I am able to comment on the larger climate of international development that has evolved to encourage sport within its repertoire of development strategies, and demonstrate the ways in which these programs have the potential to both make and un-make traditional notions of culture, international relationships, and globalization.
