The purpose of this study is to illustrate how in the span of three decades, a working-class Black gay male college student residing in a post-industrial city navigated college. Through a postcolonial geographic epistemology and theories of human geography, we explore his narrative, mapping the terrain of sexual, race and class dialects, which ultimately led to Marcus’s (pseudonym) completion of graduate school and community-based policy research. Marcus’s educational human geography reveals the unique and complex intersections of masculinity, Blackness and class as identities woven into his experiences navigating the built environment.

回家而不是死去：一个工人阶级的黑人同性恋者的人文地理，他们在当地的高等教育管道中航行

这项研究的目的是说明在过去的三十年中，一个居住在后工业城市中的工人阶级黑人男同性恋大学生如何在大学中导航。通过后殖民地的地理认识论和人文地理理论，我们探索了他的叙述，绘制了性，种族和阶级方言的地形图，最终导致了Marcus（化名）完成研究生院和基于社区的政策研究。马库斯的人文地理教育课程揭示了男性身份，黑人和阶级的独特而复杂的交汇点，因为身份融入了他在建筑环境中的体验。
