Overview

Postsecondary education is in a constant state of change and transformation as new generations of queer and trans students enroll, bringing new needs and demands to campuses around the globe (Beemyn & Rankin, 2011). As a result of this continuous shift in needs and expectations, institutions of higher education must adapt and evolve (Beemyn & Rankin, 2011). LGBTQIA+ students’ complex experiences, shaped by their multiple identities, can impact academic performance, retention, social experiences, and overall wellness. It is important for practitioners and policymakers to consider what resources are available to support students, what institutional policies are in place to protect (or harm) students, and how queer and trans students experience their campuses. This book intends to contribute to the knowledge of the field regarding the experiences of LGBTQIA+ students in higher education. The book will consider LGBTQIA+ students broadly, while also embracing the diversity in the community. Under-researched and underrepresented communities and experiences will be highlighted. International perspectives are particularly encouraged. This book is intended to serve as a guide for study, reflection, critique, and as a resource for students, faculty, student affairs practitioners, higher education administrators, and policy makers. Throughout the text, we use the term LGTBQIA+ as an all-inclusive acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (Garvey et al., 2014; Herridge et al., 2019; Herridge et al., 2023; Lértora et al., 2021). Alternatively, we use the expression queer and trans as an umbrella term for this student community.

Objective

This book intends to inform readers and contribute to the knowledge of the field regarding the experiences of LGBTQIA students in higher education. The book aims to present multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches focusing on student identity development, intersectionality and identity development, student experience, and the laws and policies affecting LGBTQIA students. This book will include a variety of empirical studies, emerging evidence-based practices, scholarly research, and personal narratives. It is intended for this book to serve as a guide for study, reflection, critique, and resource for students, faculty, student affairs practitioners, higher education administrators, and policy makers.

Target Audience

The target audience for this book is student affairs practitioners across institutional contexts (e.g., two- and four-year institutions, public and private institutions) and functional areas (e.g., LGBTQIA+ student centers, housing and residential life, offices of student success, disability services, etc.). The book is also designed for higher education administrators as well as faculty and students in higher education and student affairs graduate programs. Additionally, anyone responsible for enacting laws and policing affecting LGBTQIA students will benefit from this book.

Recommended Topics

This book will be divided into 4 primary sections: • LGBTQIA Student Identity Development • Intersectionality and Identity • LGBTQIA Student Experiences and Campus Climate • Laws and Policies We are interested in a wide range of topics, particularly those which center under-researched and underrepresented student experiences and communities. Further, we encourage intersectional approaches that recognize students’ multiple dimensions of identity. Potential topics include but are not limited to: • Asexuality • Bisexuality/Pansexuality/Plurisexuality • Intersex Students • Trans and Nonbinary Students • Queer and Trans Students of Color • Disability • Faith, Religion, and Spirituality • LGBTQIA+ Students from Rural Communities • Working Class LGBTQIA+ Students • International Students Studying in the United States • U.S. Students Studying Abroad • Identity and Identity Development • Law and Policy (particularly the rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ policy) • LGBTQIA+ Student Activism • Campus Climate • Institutional Type (e.g., the role of public or private, two-year or four-year, religiously affiliated or secular, MSI designation, etc. on shaping LGBTQIA+ experiences and student support)
