Queering Chinese Crossings in Late Twentieth Century Jamaica
This essay examines the relationship between Chinese racialization and queer formation in post-independence Jamaica. Alongside its international reputation for black empowerment and homophobic exceptionalism in the late twentieth century, Jamaica also becomes home to the anglophone Caribbean’s first gay activist organization, the Gay Freedom Movement (GFM), led by Chinese-Jamaican General Secretary Larry Chang. Focusing on Chang’s life and work, …
Social work and anthropology
Interrogating culture
Interdisciplinary contributions to social work have supported the profession’s development as a helping profession. Indeed, drawing from other disciplines has been a way to hone intervention approaches. This article analyzes the history of social work’s use of anthropological theory about “culture” in order to critically examine the profession’s positioning as a “recipient” of theories. At a time when evidence-based practice is a dominant ideal, …
Sacrificial Entrepreneurship
This ethnographic study considers the political economy of queer and trans of color community organizations in the context of urban neoliberal governance in Toronto, Canada. While state institutions promote entrepreneurship-based arts funding as a means of economic development, queer and trans of color grassroots initiatives engage with these institutions in ways that compel a reconsideration of the relationship between entrepreneurship and neoli…
(Re)storying Japanese Canadian Histories
This paper examines how Japanese Canadian (JC) artists challenge discursive limitations of constructing representations of JC pasts. Their interventions into JC history-making are significant given the rise of interest in and proliferation of JC historical accounts, partly as a result of the accelerated passing of the remaining survivors of JC incarceration within a broader context of unsettled and unsettling discourses around incarceration in JC…
Antihomosexuality and Nationalist Critique in Late Colonial Jamaica
This essay examines discourses of homosexuality in late colonial Jamaica through an analysis of the 1951 Police Enquiry, which leveraged accusations of homosexuality among Jamaica's foreign police officers as a key component of its investigative work. With information from Jamaican state records, news media, literature, and social science studies, the essay argues that the inquiry mobilized divergent discourses of homosexuality across the Atlanti…
Reconfiguring time, love, and money
Based on ethnographic research in Toronto, Canada this article considers how queer and trans of color community arts initiatives come to exist as temporal phenomena. Given the association of racial, sexual, and gender nonnormativity with temporal backwardness, these organizations serve as a useful site to examine how temporal regimes are composed. Drawing on the work of grassroots queer and trans of color community arts initiatives, I show how th…
"Constructing "Gaydren
Drawing from the work of Jamaica's Gay Freedom Movement (1977-84), this essay uses the term gaydren to consider the basis for activism around same-sex desire in Jamaica in the 1970s and 1980s. Gaydren is a combination of gay, a North Atlantic reference to subjects of same-sex desire, and bredren, a word initially constructed in Rastafarian lexicon as a masculinist expression of collective solidarity. Examining the construction of gaydren highligh…
"Interrogating the Histories and Futures of "Diversity
Drawing on insights and examples from scholars from around the world, this volume thinks through the effects of the transnational discourses and practices of "diversity" in local, nation-state-based, and global arenas. We begin with the Regents of University of California v. Bakke (1978) and Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) US Supreme Court decisions as a way of grounding our approach. In the introduction, the authors examine the extent to which these…
Tracing "Gay Liberation" through Postindependence Jamaica
In this article, the author complicates the current positioning of Jamaica within international discourses as exceptionally homophobic by focusing on the island in the 1970s as a site through which to understand how the struggle for sexual agency among subjects of same sex desire becomes possible. In 1977, Jamaica witnessed the birth of one of the Caribbean’s first gay activist organizations, the Gay Freedom Movement (GFM), during the democratic …

Why theatre-based research works? Psychological theories from behind the curtain
While many scholars have demonstrated the effectiveness of theatre-based knowledge mobilization, fewer studies have examined its psychological dimensions. This article examines some psychological theories that may account for the success behind theatre-based knowledge mobilization. Drawing from the Canadian Experience Project, a study about the labor market challenges of skilled immigrant workers, we show how theatre-based research dissemination …
Making Queer and Trans of Color Counterpublics
Drawing on 2 years of ethnographic fieldwork, this article examines the accessibility organizing efforts of queer and transgender of color community initiatives in Toronto, Canada. I argue that these efforts constitute a kind of counterpublic making in which queer and trans of color organizers discursively construct the marginalized populations that they seek to include. In contrast to approaches to accessibility that prioritize conventional serv…
Gender Identity Disparities in Bathroom Safety and Wellbeing among High School Students
Feelings, Safe Space, and LGBTQ of Color Community Arts Organizing
This article examines safe space as a site of community practice. I focus specifically on safe space as it is used among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) of color community arts organizers. I argue that although safe space operates as a site of refuge against oppression, its implementation can also serve as a barrier for community arts workers who seek to engage with mainstream arts institutions. This limitation encourages c…
The Dynamics of Show and Tell
In this article, we examine the use of the arts as a means of conducting research based on community-based research (CBR) principles. Drawing from our experience of conducting the Canadian Experience research project, which examined the employment barriers faced by skilled immigrants to Canada and used arts-based methods informed by CBR principles, we explore how the concept of language ideology may be used to understand the utility of the arts a…
