The higher education literature has not broadly attended to the ways gender, sexuality, and immigration status, as interconnected systems of oppression, shape undocuqueer immigrants’ experiences and perceptions of higher education. This study centers the voices of 31 undocuqueer immigrants via their personal narratives to highlight the ways that gender, sexuality, and immigration status are interrelated within the context of higher education. Three themes were most relevant to participants’ meaning-making experiences: survival first, building community in college, and college as the great liberator. Implications for higher education research and practice are discussed.

大学作为伟大的解放者：Undocuqueer 移民在高等教育中的意义。

高等教育文献并没有广泛关注性别、性取向和移民身份，作为相互关联的压迫系统，塑造了普通移民的经历和对高等教育的看法。本研究以 31 名非同性恋移民的声音为中心，通过他们的个人叙述来强调性别、性取向和移民身份在高等教育背景下相互关联的方式。三个主题与参与者的意义创造经历最相关：生存至上、在大学建立社区以及大学作为伟大的解放者。讨论了对高等教育研究和实践的影响。
