In this interactive workshop, we will discuss the most recent research on what factors support and inhibit LGBTQ student flourishing in the college classroom and campus. Strategies for building an inclusive classroom environment will be shared, including syllabus development, curricular integration of LGBTQ identities and issues, and concrete ways to foster an empowering classroom climate for queer and trans* students from the very first day.

Sponsored by the Bok Center and American Studies, with major funding from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and additional funding from African and African American Studies, Anthropology, History, Study of Religion, the Graduate Student Council, and the History Graduate Student Association
