Development occurs over the lifespan, and student affairs educators are not exempt from that life-long process.

Collins, Joshua C.; Rocco, Tonette S. – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2015
Gay men face decisions associated with disclosure, the process of coming out as gay, when and if to disclose, and how much information. These decisions carry more weight in masculinized industries such as law enforcement. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to critically explore gay male law enforcement officers' experiences working in…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the coming out experiences of gifted LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning or queer) alumni from a residential gifted high school.

Cooper, Lindsay – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2008
This paper examines aspects of coming out as a gay or lesbian person through the models of identity development presented in the literature as well as presenting some findings from face-to-face in-depth interviews conducted with young people telling us what it is like to grow up and identify oneself as gay.

Sundblad, Michael B.; Dansereau, Diana R. – Community College Review, 2024
Objective: This study is a replication of Russ et al.'s (2002) work, which showed that students' credibility beliefs about and perceived learning from a male university instructor were negatively affected when he identified as gay. Because the primary professional responsibility of community college faculty is teaching, and student evaluations may…

Goodman, Michael A. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2022
This hermeneutic phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of eight openly gay undergraduate men involved in elected student government.

Allen, Louisa – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2011
The issue of whether to "come out" in class has a poignant history in the literature by gay, lesbian and bisexual educators on this topic. By comparison few heterosexuals have publicly written about whether they explicitly reveal their heterosexuality to students. This paper contributes to the enduring debate about whether to "come out" in class…

Drawing on interview data from 40 gay academics in China, this article explores participants' strategies for addressing…

Sokolower, Jody – Rethinking Schools, 2011
It is not easy to "come out" as a teacher, particularly at the middle school level. The overwhelming reason to come out is to make school a safer place for youth who know, think, or fear they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Adolescence is hard enough without positive role models for every aspect of who one is or is striving to become.…

Bonardi, Olivia; Burchell, Drew; Franz-Odendaal, Tamara Anne; Joy, Phillip – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
A small but growing body of research confirms that people in the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other identities) community are among those underrepresented in STEM (science, technology engineering, and math). This is concerning because diversity and inclusion improves science for all. In response, Canadian institutions…

O'Neill, R.; Gilea, B.; Fellenger, S. – Journal of LGBT Youth, 2020
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth and their caregivers often describe coming out as a process that impacts the family unit. Oftentimes, caregivers may experience a range of emotions in response to the youth coming out. Caregivers of LGBT youth who seek counseling may benefit from collaborative treatment that addresses their…

Silver, Blake R.; Krietzberg, Lily; Kalaivanan, Tharuna – Journal of The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, 2021
As literature on the senior-year transition expands, scholars have explored the experiences of seniors from a range of sociodemographic groups. However, the senior-year transitions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) college students have yet to be examined. This neglect is surprising, given that prior studies suggest LGBQ students face…

Kincaid, Timothy S. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Mezirow's theory of transformative learning (1978, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2009) posits "perspective transformation" as a central learning process. Key to this transformation is the critical examination of the individual's deeply held assumptions and beliefs through discourse to examine new perspectives and test new ideas. The availability…
