A Narrative of Sexuality: Reflections of a Gay Latino Man on His Intercultural Journey of Study Abroad
Mnouer, Mounia
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v36 n4 p534-542 2023
This article is based on findings from my doctoral dissertation that investigated the narratives of former short-term study abroad (3-4 weeks) participants after they had settled back in their home country for one to two years. The theme of "sexuality," as it relates to the intercultural journey of study abroad, was a prominent theme that arose from the narratives of one of the participants and continued 2 years after the participant had returned home and began to interact in their home country environments. There is a dearth of research on how the narrative of sexuality can inform the journey abroad and after the participant returns to their home country. Therefore, it is important to employ narrative and Queer methodologies in the study abroad research to explore issues related to sexuality. Employing such methodologies will help increase reflection in study abroad programs and will diversify the research and the curriculum to include other groups of students that are often underrepresented in the study abroad research.
