"What is next?" gay male students' significant experiences after coming-out while in college / Results of this study have important implications for policy and practice. This study showed there is a strong need for safe classrooms and living environments, gay role models on campus, and a wide variety of support available to gay students. This study confirms that each new experience in the lives of gay students causes ripples of change, and that continued study regarding the experiences of gay students must persist |

Constructing rainbow classrooms non-heterosexual students journey toward safer schools / Using Narrative Inquiry, I interview three non-heterosexual female high school students in order to give voice to their experiences of alienation, harassment, and struggle with sexual identity. Additionally, the students discuss their visions of safe schools and their roles in creating and maintaining safe and welcoming school environments. Within the matrix of queer theory and queer pedagogy, I examine the components of safe schools that currently exist in these students' schools and relay what the students are doing to improve the level of tolerance and safety in their schools. I interview three other non-heterosexual females in order to contextualize the high school students' experiences. One teacher, one youth support group volunteer, and one young woman currently out of school provide additional layers of perspective as I analyze the narratives and suggest modifications in curriculum materials, instructional practices and administrative policies that will construct safer school environments |

dynamics of multiple dimensions of identity for lesbian college students Regardless of whether identity was externally or internally constructed, the participants were most aware of interactions between sexual orientation and gender. Sexual orientation typically contributed to a more complex understanding of gender. Consistent with queer theory, the participants challenged the causal relationship between biological sex and gender. Interactions between sexual orientation and identity dimensions such as race, culture, religion, and social class greatly varied among the participants |

Educating the Net generation The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised--one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and admnistrators were growing up. This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included |

ethnic warriors ethnic identity and school achievement as perceived by a group of selected mainland Puerto Rican students / This study was born as the result of three years of social work practice with mainland Puerto Rican students. It attempts to explore some of the many questions that emerged while working with this traditionally undeserved ethnic group. This study provides theoretical and methodological questions and recommendations about the acculturation processes of young Puerto Ricans in the mainland U.S.A. These results may also assist practitioners working with this and other ethnic urban minorities |

Exposed pedagogy investigating LGBTQ issues in collaboration with preservice teachers / This report offers a description of our year of inquiry. Community development was essential to our collaborative work. In community, we were able to seek out experiences that assisted us in moving beyond the university in order to reflect on our own unexplored biases related LGBTQ issues. Following an emergent curriculum, striving for greater teacher/student parity, and collectively scaffolding experiences for one another were the kinds of practices that allowed us to expose these biases and take small steps toward activism. These practices resulted in what we came to call an exposed pedagogy. This research, then, offers pedagogical implications for engaging pre-service teachers with LGBTQ issues. It describes, in essence, how a group of unlikely collaborators came to implement an exposed pedagogy to explore lives beyond their own |

Non-hegemonic masculinities and sexualities in the secondary school construction and regulation within a culture of heteronormativity / This project looks at the ways in which masculine identities are constructed and perceived in secondary schools. It identifies some of the links between broader gender politics and the more specific area of masculinities as they apply to the lives of gay-identified and non-identified secondary school students. Through focused discussion with groups of students the research describes types of behaviors that are characterized by students as desirable or undesirable and the perceived relationship of such behaviors with particular sexualities. In this thesis I interrogate the treatment (including bullying, harassment, and lack of acknowledgment of the gay experience), in schools, of boys who express gender unorthodoxy/non-hegemonic masculinities. In order to understand this behavior I look at the means of control of such expressions as exercised by other students and teachers and explore the motivation behind this control. Through listening to the stories of students I identify the need to evaluate school policy and pedagogical practices with a view to making the educational experience more inclusive of a broad range of masculinities and sexualities and therefore a more relevant, positive, and productive one |

policing of gender in middle school Based on 43 semi-structured interviews with children in grades 6th through 8th, this study examines how heteronormativity, or normative heterosexuality, shapes and reinforces gender stratification among preadolescents. The sample consists of 29 white and 17 non-white children. The author draws from self-evaluation theory, closure theory, and theory on heteronormativity in demonstrating that heteronorms and the use of the gay stigma operate to regulate gender performances and identities. Findings suggest specifically that a) while norms of femininity have altered in response to the feminist movement, norms of masculinity have not; b) male gender nonconformists are harassed through the use of the gay stigma, putting significant pressure on boys to maintain a hegemonic masculine/heterosexual identity; c) openly gay students are not always harassed to the extent suggested by the level of homophobia revealed in interviews with middle school students; d) boys use the gay stigma against other boys in their struggle for dominance over others; and e) white girls are less homophobic than other groups. The strict regulation of self and others reproduces heterosexism and patriarchy in ways profoundly important for understanding the persistence of inequality |

Wearing the rainbow triangle the effect of out lesbian teachers and lesbian teacher subjectivities on student choice of topics, student writing, and student subject positions in the first-year composition classroom / This dissertation examines out lesbian teachers in the college composition classroom from a viewpoint of feminist teacher research and "queer geography." Employing composition history, the ideological erasure of lesbian teacher subjectivities in the composition classroom is outlined. Case studies of lesbian teachers and students in lesbian teachers' composition classrooms indicate in a preliminary way that students' choice of writing topics, student writing, and student subject positions are affected by the presence of out lesbian composition teachers |

Working through tension a response to the concerns of lesbian, gay, and bisexual secondary school students / The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGB)(T) secondary school students are often problematic. The literature documents that LGB(T) students often experience harassment in secondary school settings. The participants in this study identify that issues around subject content, the need to address bullying, and strategies around support are three key issues that might be targeted if LGB(T) school experiences are to improve. This thesis responds to participant perspectives by outlining a broad approach that is anchored by their concerns |

Young queers getting together moving beyond isolation and loneliness / This study highlights the importance, for many young queers, of having opportunities and spaces where they can connect with each other. Socialization and sexualization among young queers involves a certain openness--being and doing queer--a practice which is unintelligible within most education-focused research/studies on young queers. This is illustrated and explored through comparative analysis of queer subjectivities in two differentiated spheres: on the one hand--education-focused research and studies relating to the school context, and on the other--gay/lesbian/queer studies and literature relating to queer social and sexual contexts. The key contexts and themes examined here are: early sexual experience and beats, queer cultures and communities, and queer youth support and social groups |
