Emergence of Third Spaces: Exploring Trans Students' Campus Climate Perceptions within Collegiate Environments
Garvey, Jason C.; Viray, Sydnee; Stango, Katie; Estep, Claire; Jaeger, Jae
Sociology of Education, v92 n3 p229-246 Jul 2019
Our study aims to understand trans students' perceptions of campus climate, with a particular focus on students' demographics, academic experiences, and cocurricular experiences. We use Bhabha's concept of "third space" as an epistemological lens and Rankin and Reason's "transformational tapestry" model as a theoretical framework. Using a national sample of 207 trans collegians from the National LGBTQ Alumnx Survey, we utilize regression analysis supplemented by an analysis of open-ended responses to highlight the experiences of trans respondents. Results demonstrate the relationship between trans students' campus climate perceptions and year of graduation, outness, academic training, and LGBTQ academic/cocurricular experiences. We close by discussing campus climate experiences and the third space that trans students must navigate within colleges and universities, and we provide recommendations for higher-education practitioners and scholars.
