Queer Desi/South Asian Transnational Sense of Belonging & Home, by Dr. Madhunika Suresh-Mueller

Dr. Madhunika Sai Suresh-Mueller presented from her dissertation—work I nominated for a dissertation award. Her research disrupts how higher education understands belonging, home, and identity for transnational students navigating multiple systems of marginalization. She found that queer diasporic transnational scholars experience belonging not as linear institutional outcome but as fluid negotiation—shaped by personal histories, migration journeys, institutional politics, and political climate. This directly challenges frameworks that reduce belonging to quantifiable metrics. She used a diasporic framework with deeply grounded cultural storytelling, creating tarot cards and illustrative paintings for her findings.
