STEM lives
Data on the experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) STEM teachers are sparse. We conducted a phenomenological qualitative research study and interviewed ten STEM teachers working in primary and secondary schools in the United States. They were interviewed about their interest in STEM, as well as about advocating for themselves and others in STEM. Findings offer insights into how sexual orientation and gender identity impact the lives of t…

The ECA may benefit marginalized communities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) students, within the auspice…

The school counsellor has an important role to play in this process by working closely with other stakeholders to advocate for transgender, intersex and genderqueer (TIG) students. Following a review of recent developments in the USA, recommendations are made and resources identified to assist school …
