Queering Higher Education: The QTPOC Experience provides students with a curated collection of readings that help them better understand the experiences of queer and transgender people of color (QTPOC). The anthology equips readers with a knowledge base that can help them provide queer and transgender students of color (QTSOC) an increased sense of belonging, safety, and inclusion on college campuses. Readers learn ways of enacting allyship to enhance students' learning experience and identity formation.
The text is comprised of three modules that introduce readers to transdisciplinary research inclusive of intersectionality and queer theory within the context of higher education, research and current existing data on QTSOC in education, and how both areas can be merged into practice. Several chapters contain an overview of content, multiple case studies, key terminology, and discussion questions to engage readers and help them practice their competency skills.
Providing readers with invaluable research and perspective, Queering Higher Education is an excellent resource for courses and programs in education. It is also an excellent text for higher education administrators and institutions implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs or initiatives.
