How Immigration and Queerness Factor into an Understanding of Kinship and Family

Faculty Advisor: Caterina Fugazzola, Assistant Senior Instructional Professor of Global Studies

​

Arianna’s thesis carefully examines the experience of family ties for those at the intersection of Latinidad and queer identities. Drawing together the concept of familismo and chosen family, her work offers new insight into how young people balance different aspects of their identities as they navigate existing kinship ties and build new ones.
