Mapping the Rise of LGBTQ+ Student Affairs
Using a systematic literature review approach, this article examines the expanding landscape of LGBTQ+ student affairs in higher education. In reviewing 38 pieces of scholarship, several themes emerge about this line of work: how LGBTQ+ student affairs work came to be, how students experience LGBTQ+ centers, and ongoing organizational concerns. Implications for research and practice are offered
Who’s Trans(*)forming Who
The complexities of trans in/visibility, “the reality that we are both visible and invisible in many ways and across contexts, served as an important axiom on which we come to know ourselves and [...] our community.”1 In a time of ostensibly unparalleled trans visibility, at least within mainstream media of trans subjects whom cisgender media makers deem legible, what does this in/visibility mean within higher education and student affairs (HESA)…
A Narrative Inquiry Study Examining Gender and Sexuality Center Professionals’ Engagement with Anti-Racism
Guided by a framework combining scholarship on critical consciousness and anti-racism in education, this narrative inquiry study sought to understand how practitioners within Gender and Sexuality Centers (GSCs) perceive their engagement with anti-racism. Centering the stories of 20 GSC professionals, findings revealed the racialized differences in practitioners’ motivations, how professionals conceptualized anti-racism actions as involving and ex…

I’m looking for people who want to do disruption work’
In the United States, the academic discipline of higher education has emerged as a site in which transgender scholars have begun to engage. Transgender scholars have begun to disrupt the normative logics of epistemological trans oppression, forcing those in higher education to contend with us, our work, and the possibilities therein. And yet, the ways some of us have been accepted into the field and scholarly sites (e.g., academic conferences), a…
Sexua-romanticised pathways of transmasculine college students in the USA
Much of the expanding literature positions trans college students as an overly homogenous population, lacking agency and wrought with hardship and tragedy. Drawn from a broader study on transmasculine college students’ conceptualisations of masculinity, this paper draws attention to the multiplicity of transmasculine voices navigating sexuality and romantic relationships. This navigation is embroiled in their negotiations with masculinity, domina…
Trans*forming higher education men and masculinity studies
White heterosexual cisgender men’s narratives saturate the literature on college masculinities, thus far, perpetuating a hegemonic and essentialist definition of masculinity and conflating sex and gender identity and expression. The exclusion of other-gendered masculine voices in turn limits possibilities to destabilize and transform hegemonic masculinity. Additionally, the emergent literature on trans* students presents a dismal outlook for an a…

Trans*forming college masculinities
Men and masculinities studies are gaining prominence in higher education literature, illuminating how cisgender college men understand and grapple with masculinity. Additionally, the increased visibility of trans* students has fueled the expanding scholarship and attention to their experiences, often however centering on white gender-conforming trans* students with little if any focus on their multiple and intersecting identities. The gap between…

Utilizing a cross-sectional design, six global perspective outcomes were regressed on an intercultural engagement scale and its component parts, controlling for student background characteristics and other forms of on- and off-campus engagement. Additionally, conditional effects models were employed to examine the intercultural en…
A critical race feminist analysis of men of color matriculating into a higher education doctoral program
We Are Not Expected”
Despite slowly expanding literature on trans* students in higher education, there is virtually nothing examining the lived experiences, identity processes, and needs of trans* educators in higher education and student affairs. This awareness led to the inaugural T* Circle dialogue in March 2014 among nine diverse trans* educators, moderated by a cisgender facilitator, to make visible and begin to fill this gap. The manuscript describes the trans*…
