  • Information
  • Resources

Research has demonstrated more anti-LGBTQ+ bias and discrimination in rural school settings compared to urban schools. The proposed narratology study seeks to retell the schooling experiences of rural, LGBTQ+ youth.

Author(s):
  • Aimee Ryan

Objectives:
  • Learn how anti-LGBTQ+ bias and discrimination affect the psychological and educational wellbeing of students in rural communities.
  • Understand what supports rural LGBTQ+ students want, what in their schools is working well for them, and what stressors exist.
  • Engage in social justice work by advocating for inclusive policies and procedures designed to include and protect LGBTQ+ students.
