Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study utilized narrative inquiry to examine the experiences of Black Queer Doctoral Students (BQDS) with campus services and their ability to ameliorate minority stress and establish community with other students minoritized by their sexual or gender identity. I used the minority stress model and intersectionality as frameworks to understand how students minoritized by their race and sexual identities experienced campus services.

Connecting to community is also an ameliorating factor in reducing minority stress. In addition, structural intersectionality addressed the …
