Theorizing Intersectional (Race)silience among Gay Latino Male Collegians

Theorizing Intersectional (Race)silience among Gay Latino Male Collegians

Presented by the Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society

In this session, Oscar will share about his qualitative study examining processes of resilience that gay Latino men in college underwent as it relates to social identities that are most salient to them. Oscar will discuss how he accounted for the role and manifestation of systems of oppression that underlie the adversity encountered by Latino men. In doing so, Oscar will share how his work expands current theoretical underpinnings of a resilience framework, ultimately proposing intersectional (race)silience as a more critical and holistic approach. Finally, Oscar will discuss contributions to and implications for research.
