[more] This chapter explores how young queer racialized men work on, within, and against dominant racialized narratives that implicates their body, gender, and sexuality in a white-dominant cultural context in Australia. This helps to illuminate young people's ongoing negotiations with masculinities, embodiment, and the effect on identity. While children and young people are often reduced to categories of not knowing or categorized in linear "stages" they will grow out of (Cannella, Deconstructing early childhood education: social justice and revolution. Peter Lang, New York, 1997; Lesko, Youth Soc 28:13-61, 1996); this work uses a participatory and feminist methodology to learn with and from young men and their complex experiences in negotiating racialized narratives, demands, and the hyper sexualization and masculinization of their bodies. The felt and embodied dimensions of gender, sexuality, and racialization were explored through interviews and an arts-based creative method, "sandboxing," that enables symbolic visualization of what it feels like to be a queer young Latinx man in Australia.

While GBV across the life-course is an extremely prevalent and pressing social problem, it has been invisible within higher education. Indeed, experiences of GBV, which may profoundly shape access to and participation in higher education, are largely perceived as irrelevant to student equity, unless experienced on campus. Institutional silence around the impact of GBV on student equity is related to the gender injustice of misrecognition, whereby the social problem of GBV is located at the personal level. This manifests in the social emotion of shame, experienced at the personal level as disconnection, isolation and not belonging. This paper draws from our analysis of 47 in-depth interviews with student victim/survivors exploring their experiences of higher education to illuminate how deficit discourses and stigmatisation intersect to reproduce gender injustice in higher education.
