Abstract
This study will provide an intersectional analysis and consider the role of queer frameworks in order to understand the experiences of Queer Students of Color attending historically white institutions of higher education. Data will be collected through Zoom interviews and will explore how multiple marginalized identities manifest themselves and how these intersections are navigated and experienced on campuses of higher education. This research will explore both micro and macro level patterns of discrimination and racism and will attempt to reveal issues including but not limited to structural and institutional racism, homophobia and heterosexism, and erasure of minorities' identities. This research will help address problems involved with Queer students’ well-being on college campuses and can provide insight for scholars interested in learning more about issues involved with gender, sexuality, and education. Intersectional frameworks are vital for conducting this research, and address the interconnectedness of systems of oppression along with providing an analytic framework for researching identity on college campuses and can be used to develop affirming educational environments for future Queer Students of Color.
