In this course, we will explore key issues that LGBTQ+ youth face within the P-12 U.S. educational system, and ways in which teachers and advocates are striving to make education more inclusive and welcoming to LGBTQ+ students. Issues may include: the risk of suicide for LGBTQ youth; history of LGBTQ+ inclusivity in public education in the U.S.; supportive movements in LGBTQ education; the role of educators and support staff; intersections of race, class, gender and sexuality and their impact on educational and health outcomes for students. In this course we will explore both the challenges that educators face and successes to date providing welcoming and inclusive educational experiences for LGBTQ+ youth. LGBTQ+ Youth and Education is a companion course to the 4 credit GSST 2005 Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies; students may enroll in both courses. Introductory level course in LGBTQ+ Studies, or Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies is strongly recommended.
