In addition, in studies of mixed-race people, the legacy of the Black-White\/US-based multiracial paradigm and the history of such research using race as the only or primary analytic has left a dearth of studies that seek to understand mixed-race experiences within geographical, transnational and intersectional contexts. In this paper, we extend previous work focused on situational and contextual multiracial identities through an interview-based study of a sample of 12 queer and mixed-race individuals. We employ a narrative analysis to explore how emergent themes of geography and migration are salient to self-making processes of participants. Findings include: (1) diverse geographic and migration histories among participants; (2) interviewees\u2019 use of discursive strategies that draw upon experiences of geography and migration within the narrative structure; and (3) the critical role of geography and migration in expanding and changing participants\u2019 identity discourses and in shaping individuals\u2019 identity and sense of community. Ultimately, this work serves as a call for on-going attention to how geography and migration, as well as intersectional and transnational perspectives, add depth and texture to studies of queer-mixed people while also offering specificity to social work\u2019s broader commitment to context and environment.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/qsw.sagepub.com\/content\/14\/5\/651.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locating queer-mixed experiences: Narratives of geography and migration Qualitative Social Work Volume 14, Number 5 (September 2015) pages 651-669 DOI: 10.1177\/1473325014561250 Kimberly D.
