To describe longitudinal trends in the prevalence of mental distress across the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020‒April 2021) among US women at the intersection of sexual orientation ...and racialized group.
Participants included 49 805 cisgender women and female-identified people from the COVID-19 Sub-Study, a cohort of US adults embedded within the Nurses' Health Studies 2 and 3 and the Growing Up Today Study. We fit generalized estimating equation Poisson models to estimate trends in depressive and anxiety symptoms by sexual orientation (gay or lesbian, bisexual, mostly heterosexual, completely heterosexual); subsequent models explored further differences by racialized group (Asian, Black, Latine, White, other or unlisted).
Relative to completely heterosexual peers, gay or lesbian, bisexual, and mostly heterosexual women had a higher prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms at each study wave and experienced widening inequities over time. Inequities were largest for sexual minority women of color, although confidence intervals were wide.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated already-glaring mental health inequities affecting sexual minority women, especially those belonging to marginalized racialized groups. Future research should investigate structural drivers of these patterns to inform policy-oriented interventions. (

À partir du Sénégal, cet article explore des voix plurielles, des silences résistants et des dynamiques infrapolitiques à plusieurs échelles, qui interrogent les imaginaires actuels entourant les ...héritages postcoloniaux des restitutions vers l’Afrique. Au carrefour de mondes muséaux, artistiques et académiques transnationaux, sont questionnés l’hégémonie européenne, sa tendance universaliste et son corollaire ethnologique, mais aussi les risques de rebalkanisation de l’Afrique et les logiques systémiques de l’ingérence française et européenne. Des oppositions à la postcolonialité ordinaire se manifestent par ailleurs en dehors des institutions, en soulignant des formes de décentrement socioculturel vis-à-vis de l’historicité coloniale, de l’Europe et ses conflits avec ses minorités raciales, et nourrissent des perspectives panafricaines renouvelées pour penser localement les héritages culturels.
This article analyses contemporary developments in top source countries of Canada's temporary migrant worker programmes, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and International Mobility Program ...(IMP). An analysis of administrative data and policy suggests that most temporary migrant workers from key source countries in Latin America and the Caribbean are present in Canada under highly restrictive conditions of the TFWP, largely as agricultural workers. Simultaneously, most temporary migrant workers from key source countries in Europe and Asia migrate to Canada under the growing IMP, comprised of a diverse set of subprogrammes which, in some cases, have the potential to perpetuate conditions associated with exploitation identified historically with the TFWP. At the same time, unprecedented levels of temporary migrant workers from India and China are being granted open work permits in Canada, raising questions about how racialization and colonial pasts intertwine with this fast‐growing and under‐studied side of temporary labour migration.
This article introduces the Special Issue on Migrant Mothers' Creative Interventions into Racialized Citizenship. It reflects on the theoretical and policy areas to which research on migrant mothers' ...citizenship can contribute. The introduction argues that studies on citizenship, racialization, migration are important to theoretical as well as policy debates on contemporary nationhood, multiculturalism, generational and social cohesion as well as austerity and racism and migration. Drawing on our own work, as well as contributions to the Special Issue, the introduction illuminates this with respect to examples from the US, Canada, Portugal and the UK. These issues are relevant to migrants of different statuses including skilled migrants, family migrants, undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. The migrant mothers' care and cultural work in bringing up their children can be theorized as a creative intervention challenging racialized citizenship.
This article studies young foreign female entrepreneurs in China involved in online businesses, focusing on how the intersection of race and gender mediate their business strategies and success ...stories. Existing literature on foreign migrants in China describes the transnational corporate and entrepreneurial sector as male oriented. While a few studies of foreign women in China examine their experiences as trailing spouses, little attention has been paid to young women, millennials, and Gen Z, pursuing an independent business career in China. This research is based on semi-structured, long-distance interviews with twenty-seven foreign women in their early twenties to early thirties. The article attends to the recent transformations in China's business sector, where the number of young foreign female entrepreneurs is rising. I identified two main themes in my respondents' reflections on their entrepreneurial experiences. First, gender plays a role in how women negotiate doing business in China and escaping the so-called glass ceiling. Second, women strategically perform a racialized white identity, or desirable qualities associated with whiteness, to market their products. Such dynamics must be understood in relation to recent migration flows to China, including the negotiations and challenges that mainly women face to cope with business.
Las teorías de la asimilación que han sido el enfoque dominante dentro de la sociología estadounidense para estudiar la experiencia de los migrantes y sus hijos en Estados Unidos, se sustentan en un ...paradigma centrado en las relaciones étnicas y en la asimilación como proceso de incorporación a la "sociedad mayoritaria". En este artículo se discuten los argumentos cen-trales de dichas teorías en sus versiones contemporáneas, a la luz de las principales críticas que se les han hecho, en particular aquellas formuladas desde un paradigma centrado en las relaciones de "raza", que le reprochan no tomar en serio el papel determinante que tienen la racialización y el racis-mo estructural en la vida de las personas que migran y sus descendientes. PALABRAS CLAVE:migraciones, asimilación, relaciones étnicas, racismo, racialización.
For several decades, mainstream media have positioned Muslims as cultural, political, and social outsiders to Denmark. Danish Muslims confront and navigate this exclusionary racial project of ...hegemonic Danishness in a host of ways, including through online communication and social media practices. This article is a qualitative study of Danish Muslims who produce discursive interventions on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram in direct and indirect relation to mainstream media discourses on Muslimness. Their social media practices are conceptualized as part of an emerging, online Danish Muslim counterpublic where features that afford interactivity shape the counterpublic to be communal in distinct ways. This digital counterpublic provides direct challenges to hegemonic Danishness’ one-dimensional representation of Muslimness. Particularly when it comes to questions of gender and claims to ordinariness through quotidian posts on life as a Danish person who just happens to be Muslim, these social media practices are racial projects that undercut hegemonic Danishness’ racialization of Muslimness as non-Danish, monolithic, and culturally deficient.
This study explores whiteness as property in parent engagement as experienced by Black and racialized parents in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in Ontario, Canada. Drawing on ...counter-storytelling methodology, we explore the active harm endured by parents who have challenged racist educators, policies, and practices. We also explore how educators uphold whiteness as property (and intersections with “smartness” and “goodness”) through a spectrum of coercive power tactics, such as lies, denials, and cover-ups to protect their power and control at the expense of Black and racialized parents and students.
Objective
There is a growing body of research regarding the situations that are linked to personality expression in daily life. We examined racialized young adults' experiences of racial and ethnic ...cues, and variables from prior personality expression research.
Method
We assessed Big Five personality states in racialized undergraduate students (N = 180) in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada using experience sampling methodology. Participants (Mage = 19.85‐years‐old; 51% South Asian, 17% East Asian, 11% African, 11% Middle Eastern, 9% Southeast Asian, 8% Black‐North American, 5% Caribbean, 3% Afro‐Caribbean, 2% Central American, 2% White/European, 1% South American, 1% North African, 1% South and Central American, 1% Afro‐European, 3% another) provided five assessments daily over 12 days (Nobservations = 6980).
Results
We observed within‐person associations from past personality expression research (e.g., participants exhibited greater conscientiousness when at school). Racial and ethnic cues from previous studies of racial and ethnic identity, stereotyping, discrimination, and prejudice were associated with situational characteristics (e.g., being in a majority White space was associated with being in public), and with Big Five personality states (e.g., racial identity salience was associated with extraversion).
Conclusion
Results suggest that assessing sociocultural variables beyond the individual provides an opportunity for better understanding personality expression.
