Abstract

[This chapter challenges the invisibility of bisexual lives and experiences in our disciplinary literature. It does so by investigating the experiences of a bisexual, Asian immigrant to Canada, Cao shines an important light on how immigrant status can constrain agency in language learning settings while also leading to potentially conflicted sense of self. When layered with a minority sexual identity, especially one as grossly misunderstood and marginalized as bisexuality (see Bostwick, 2012). This contribution provides research-grounded pedagogical and research implications that can greatly enrich LGBTQ+-focused work in the field. But, most importantly, it brings a sharper focus on one the minority sexualities that is often lumped into queerness despite considerable differences in lived experiences and cultural capital (see also Moore, 2016).]
