“Stuff that only mixed‐race people would understand”: Community and identity‐related experiences in online groups for multiracial people
Multiracial people are a rapidly growing group who may still lack social support from similar others in their offline lives. This study aimed to understand the user experiences in online groups for multiracial individuals. In a cross‐sectional online survey, 300 multiracial emerging adults (79% women; mean age = 23; most common ethnic identity components: 86% White/European, 44% Chinese, 17% Japanese, 16% Southeast Asian, and 13% Filipino) answer…
Disciplining Bodies, Desires and Subjectivities: Sexuality and HIV-Positive Women
Very little is known about the sexuality of women who are living with HIV, outside the context of risk prevention and education. Available research in the first-world context shows that, although most women continue to be sexually active following diagnosis, decreased sexual functioning is very common and more prevalent than among HIV-positive men. The present multi-site Canadian study is concerned with the ways in which women’s sexuality is tran…
Health Care Services for Lesbian and Bisexual Women: Some Canadian Data
Specific health needs and health services for lesbian and bisexual women are relatively invisible in existing research, with little Canadian data on these topics. To redress such gaps, data were selectively analyzed from a larger study with 98 lesbian/bisexual women living in a Maritime Province in Canada. As part of a semistructured interview, women were asked to indicate whether a particular health care service was important to them. General ph…
(Con)Tested Identities: Bisexual Women Reorient Sexuality
This article, based on an ongoing Canadian study of women who self-identify as bisexual, explores what it means to claim a bisexual identity. Semi-structured interviews with 22 women were analyzed using thematic decomposition, an analytic technique that combines discursive approaches with thematic analysis. Women in this study constructed their sexuality as a succession of interrelated impediments and imperatives that act in tandem to both prohib…
Probing the Prime Narrative: Illness, Interviewing, and Identity
In this article, semistructured interviews with cancer patients are interpreted as a narrative process. Using a qualitative, inductive method, a coding scheme and lexicon were developed to analyze the form and content of interviews with persons with cancer. The authors introduce and describe the coding scheme by applying it to the audiotapes and transcripts from 13 interviews. This work indicates that there is a prime narrative supported by subna…

Reneotiating identity: Cancer Narratives
We frame the work of living with cancer as one which is identity-altering. Interviews with a heterogeneous group of cancer patients of varying sites and stages were used to conceptualise the identity work as involving disrupted feelings of fit, renegotiating identity, and biographical work. Patient narratives reflect these categories depending on their stage of illness and their experiences in medical institutions.'Identity work' is used to descr…
