Intersectionality and the No-Finding Finding in Transgender Older Adults’ Narratives of Housing Precarity
The meaning of home for many transgender people is complicated by challenging experiences of housing precarity and injustice throughout their lives. This study applies intersectionality to understand the meaning of trans people’s narratives of housing precarity with the goal of developing actionable insight for the advancement of housing justice. We conducted a sequential structural, dialogic, and visual narrative analysis with biographical inter…
Beyond Disposable Social Work and Towards Ecosocial Work
This study is an inquiry into the role of social work in responding to the vulnerability of poor older adults living in jjokbang-chon, a neighborhood with a high concentration of informal housing in Seoul, South Korea, to extreme weather disasters. The findings presented in this research are derived from a year-long ethnographic study. The fieldwork consisted of living in the community, carrying out participant observations through working with s…
Historical and social forces in the Iridescent Life Course
The lives of transgender older adults are rarely examined, and little is known about the critical life events and experiences of this population. Informed by the Iridescent Life Course, this study investigates how intersectionality, fluidity, context and power impact the life events and experiences of trans older adults by generation and gender. Utilising 2014 data from the National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study: Aging with Pride (Nat…
Understanding past experiences of suicidal ideation and behavior in the life narratives of transgender older adults
Transgender people (collectively referred to here as trans) experience disproportionate rates of suicidal ideation and behavior (plans and attempts) attributed to complex constellations of structural and individual factors. Interpretive methods in suicide research elucidate and contextualize intricate patterns of risk factors and strategies for recovery. The life narratives of trans older adults offer unique insights into past suicidal behavior a…
Authenticated social capital
Trans people experience social marginalisation, stigmatisation and violent oppression in US society and worldwide. Given the importance of social capital for wellbeing, this study sought to illuminate the ways in which trans people build social capital throughout their lives and to use this knowledge to promote new and helpful ways of thinking about social capital concerning the human life course in the 21st century. We conducted a secondary inte…
To Survive on This Shore
For over five years, photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled throughout the United States creating To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults. Seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist at the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location, they documented the life stories of th…
The health and well-being of LGBTQ people in mainland China
Knowledge about the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in mainland China is limited, but what is known raises concerns about their welfare. Social work, as an emerging profession in the country, is poised to play a critical role in supporting LGBTQ Chinese people
The manifestation of multilevel stigma in the lived experiences of transgender and gender nonconforming older adults
Our analyses suggest that TGNC older adults' mental health is indeed impacted by multiple levels of stigma. Individual level stigma is experienced as ongoing vigilance about aspects of oneself that break gender norms, often manifesting in internal conflicts. At the interpersonal level, TGNC older adults navigate unpredictable relationships marked by conflicting expressions of love, acceptance, strain, and exclusion. Structural stigma manifests in…
Transgender ageing
This chapter explores the intersections of gender, sexuality and age through transgender aging. Using empirical work from both Swedish and U.S. contexts, it examines how heteronormative expectations for human lives are challenged by the identities, lived experiences and life choices of older transgender adults. Further, the chapter draws upon life course and queer perspectives to analyse the role of community-level organizing and resistance as pa…
Let’s talk about the real issue
This interpretive study investigated how residents from socioeconomically challenged communities in North St. Louis understand and make meaning of environmental change and its impact on their well-being. Based on these localized data, we argue that racial minorities facing socioeconomic challenges may experience some environmental issues as less of an immediate concern than violence and racism. However, race and racism shape both the realities of…
How Sex Trading Identities Shape Experiences of Service Provision
The relationship between women’s identities of sex trading and their engagement with social service providers remains understudied. Drawing from larger grounded theory study, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adult women who traded sex as adults and 20 service providers who come into contact with this population in a U.S. Midwestern city. Women engaging in services were sampled through maximum variation sampling and wome…
Agency and Social Forces in the Life Course
The findings in this paper are used to extend the life course concept of agency within structure, which has implications for future life course research in aging, especially with respect to socially marginalized and oppressed minority groups
Queer Aging
The social work profession has rapidly increased its awareness and inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity issues in practice discourse in recent years. This increased awareness includes aging issues and extends the profession's commitment to the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) older adults. Notably, social workers now have access to the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging (2016) and its plethor…
