In a world of intense global mobility, the idea of home becomes difficult to name. Who are we, and where do we belong? How do the many aspects of our identitiesculture, race, gender, language, sexuality, and abilityamong othersinteract and intersect to make us feel at home or alone in our bodies, or in particular places or spaces? What does it mean to fall in love or to experience desire across boundariesof place, gender, or culture?
