In recent years, research has begun to examine the myriad of ways in which gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men acquire their sexual health literacy, be that from clinicians, peer groups, or online media. However, little is known about the impact interactions with front-line outreach workers have in informing what GBM know about their own sexual practices and wellbeing, and whether these interactions result in behaviour change. To address…

First-time testers in the GetaKit study
When analyzing the data for Ontario, Canada, HIV rates continue to be highest among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). Since HIV diagnosis is a key component of HIV care, self-testing has provided options for allowing this population to access care, resulting in a significant number of first-time testers. Between 1 April 2021 and 31 January 2022, 882 gbMSM participants ordered an HIV self-test through GetaKit. Of these, 27…
Special Issue
This is the introduction to a special issue, focusing on African Canadians, gender and sexuality. This special issue adds to the body of empirical knowledge about gender and sexuality and how they relate to identities, structures, and systems within African Canadian communities.

Sexuality and Sexual Agency Among Heterosexual Black Men in Toronto

The findings are based on focus groups and in-depth interviews conducted for the qualitative arm of the broader weSpeak project, a mixed-methods study designed to engage and support heterosexual Black men in Ontario, Canada, in living more holistically healthy lives. Focus groups and in-depth interviews with 69 self-ident…
Youth, Social Crisis, & Learning
This special issue takes up two contemporary challenges in the field of adult education and the study of lifelong learning; first, the notion of ‘crisis’ and second, the question of ‘youth.’ The la
Media
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth have the potential for considerable resilience. Positive media representations may mediate negative experiences and foster self-esteem, yet the relationship between resilience and both traditional offline and new online media remains underaddressed for this population. This grounded-theory exploration of media-based resilience-building activities by LGBTQ youth (n = 19) indicated four t…
Conclusion to the Special Issue
The contributors to this special issue have mobilized queer of color epistemologies as lenses for knowledge production in educational studies, broadly defined. This work, called queer of color anal
Call and response
The shift in attention to the ‘boy crisis’ has been fuelled by a spate of popular trade books dealing with raising of boys and the alleged failures and deceptions of feminist educational reforms. This article argues that from a black feminist perspective the ‘boy crisis’ depicted in these texts is a misnomer because no social problem can be understood through a single lens of difference. Rather, through an analysis of the narratives of gay and ge…
Making Space” for Ourselves
Drawing from two separate case studies, one on lower track African American students and another on gay and gender nonconforming African American male students, this article explores how students with multiple stigmatized identities make sense of and respond to their marginalization, a process we term making space . In particular, we consider how making space can support students’ psychosocial needs and at the same time work against school engage…
Voices of Queer Youth in Urban Schools
This article reviews scholarship that represents urban students who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning. It draws on empirical examples to illustrate prominent themes across this scholarship, including the homophobia they experience, the impact it has on their academic performance, and the activism it sparks. Finally, it considers implications for urban educators working with queer youth, specifically, the …
Understanding the Marginalization of Gay and Gender Non-Conforming Black Male Students
This article proposes a multidimensional framework that takes into account multiple categories of difference and forms of oppression to understand and suggest interventions for gay and gender nonconforming Black male students in urban schools. The author builds the case for educators to develop these kinds of frameworks by describing two experiences he had while working on a collaborative action research project. For each of the experiences, he d…
