From displaced to deprived: How racial capitalism entrenches housing insecurity as a determinant of health
This study examines how, in contexts of inequitable governance, housing insecurity functions as a pathway for environmental and psychosocial exposures. Drawing on seventy-nine archival letters written between 1964 and 1965 by public housing applicants in New Orleans, the research integrates the social exposome and surplus population conceptual framings to trace how urban renewal practices, forced displacement, and bureaucratic neglect generated c…
Punishing gender-affirming care: Social media and U.S. anti-trans politics
Political communication relies heavily on digital platforms that reward hostile content with greater audience engagement. Following Executive Orders 14168 and 14187 in January 2025, the Trump administration orchestrated a rapid, multi-agency dismantling of institutional support for gender-affirming care. This article argues that these orders functioned simultaneously as administrative mandates and as social media content designed to discipline in…
It’s not a me thing: The role of transcendence and critical politics in Black LGBTQ wellness in Montreal
This study explores well-being strategies and challenges for Black LGBTQ individuals in Montreal, Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between March and May 2023 with key informants, or advocates and service providers for LGBTQ communities in the Montreal metropolitan area. Thematic analysis was used and involved transcription, memo-writing and a multi-step, inductive coding process using MAXQDA. The findings highlight three areas of…
Local Dynamics of Intersectional Stigma for Black LGBTQ People in Montreal, Quebec
Much academic literature on intersectional stigma is limited by a focus on relatively static and "universal" identity traits, such as ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. This paper addresses local dynamics of intersectional stigma for Black LGBTQ people in Montreal, QC, Canada. Findings draw from fourteen semi-structured, virtual interviews with key informants providing critical services to Black LGBTQ people living in Montreal. Findings suggest in…
A Case for Naming Racial Violence
In the United States, scholarship concerning race has been the target of politicized criticism. This derision lacks concern for the matters of life and death at the center of racial scholarship, which necessarily includes histories of massacres, lynching, genocide, and extrajudicial killings in the young story of the United States alone. This article centers on the matter of trauma and presents it as an influential aspect of Black life in the Uni…
Good Roads and Anti-Black Violence
Following Progressive-era advocacy (1890–1930), a modernized road work site emerged in the U.S. South designed to be populated by mobile fleets of Black imprisoned laborers. The forced road work dislodged U.S. roads from their localized production and maintenance so they could assume an expert-led, technological form—physically and discursively. On the road, however, labor was merely a means of violently reifying hierarchical racial differences, …
Stress and coping amongst cisgender male partners of transgender women
The cisgender male partners of transgender women have received little attention beyond their sexual behaviour. This is an issue, as marginalisation and social environments determine sexual behaviour and subsequent health outcomes. This article assesses in-depth interviews with cisgender male partners of transgender women in Atlanta and Baltimore, USA. Analysis suggests men experience minority stress that may lead to ameliorative coping processes …
Uncaring landscapes and HIV peer support in the rural Southern United States
Normalized Alterity: Visualizing Black Spatial Humanities
This article aims to envision more just visual representations of Black spatial collectivity. In light of transformative work in critical cartography and recent turns to narrative cartography, digital mapping has arguably come to offer an opportunity for radical and democratized visualizations. However, the historical and contemporary anti-Blackness of mapping urges caution. Moreover, prominent critical cartographic urges to eschew normativity ri…

Intergenerationality, family narratives, and black geographic space in rural North Carolina
This article questions what of narrative might make it important to black geographic space. Familial intergenerationality is submitted as one important aspect for being critical to the transmission of community and genealogical narratives. Akin to the narratives outlined in black geographic theorization, these passed-on, intergenerational sorts provide critical spatial information about the historic and on-going spatial productions of particular …
Oral history and emplacement in 'nowhere at all: The Role of Personal and Family Narratives in Rural Black Community-Building
This paper begins by reviewing the nowhere at all of transatlantic slavery, or the indiscrete, unmappable whereabouts of an 'African-American' collectivity formed during Middle Passage. The construct is adapted from Hortense Spillers' 1987 essay, 'Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: An American Grammar Book.' After postulating transatlantic nowhere at all as an archetypal instance, consideration is given to how oral history may chronicle the formation of …
A Profile of Emigrants from South Africa: The Australian Case
This paper details the results of a survey of a representative group of persons emigrating from South Africa to Australia. The characteristics of the group are identified and reasons for their emigration are suggested. They are found to be skilled persons of liberal or apolitical leanings, who should be of benefit to a future nonracial Australia and a loss to such a potential future South Africa. It is noted that a proportion of the emigrants hav…
