Current Work
Dr. McGuire's research agenda focuses on the status and experiences of minoritized students across postsecondary educational settings. Drawing from Africana and other interdisciplinary frameworks, Dr. McGuire examines how race, gender and religion shape minoritized college students' identities and their everyday experiences. Additionally, Dr. McGuire investigates the ways racism, sexism, and heteronormativity undermine the experiences of minoritized college students as well as the ways students resist and respond to such marginalization. Currently, he is facilitating a year-long Black male feminist research-and-learning community that seeks to understand how Black men's engagement with Black feminist perspectives informs their ideas of gender and race. In addition, he is conducting a project on the intersectional experiences of Black Muslim college students.
