Special Double Issue: The Im/Possibility of Finding Home in Academia—Personal Narratives of Transnationally Minoritized Scholars in Higher Education: Part 1Theorizing Mishritata: A Queer Desi/South Asian Making Meaning of Multiple Minoritization in a Transnational Context

Scaffolding poetry, drawing, and narrative fragments from lived experience, I offer mishritata (mixedness) as a way to make meaning of multiply minoritized identity through the “doing” of dissertation research with one’s communities. Conceptualized as an orientation, mishritata is an indigenized embodied borderlands positionality that recognizes and celebrates the mixedness of the Queer Desi/South Asian experiences: an interplay of histories and contexts, of people and places, and of structures and systems that organize them across borders, both real and imagined.

Strange Genetics

This chapter relates how, in the 1950s, Esther and Joshua Lederberg and their colleagues uncovered a whole new kind of genetic transfer involving plasmids and viruses. In plants and animals, genetic recombination is integrated within the processes of sexual reproduction. Imagine if you could trade genes with strangers at will! That’s what bacteria can do. Esther Lederberg’s discoveries of the F-plasmid and the λ‎ bacteriophage were happy accidents that occurred while she working to complete her dissertation research. Serendipity happens to those who are very attentive, broadly experienced, and open to surprises. Esther Lederberg discovered a transferable factor, the F-factor, that could transform recipients into donors. Then she discovered a lysogenic virus, hiding harmlessly inside the chromosome of its bacterial host. These two surprising discoveries showed that bacteria could transfer genes and pieces of chromosomes horizontally, as opposed to the classical inheritance of plants and animals which pass on genetic traits vertically, down through generations.
