There has been dramatic social change with respect to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights around the world in the
last decade. Yet legal protection and inclusion remain limited for
LGBT youth. The context of schooling is especially
important-schools remain the primary societal institution to which
most youth have access and in which nearly all youth spend some
significant portion of their lives. LGBT youth are at risk for some
of the greatest difficulties experienced by adolescents, and many
of those problems have been traced directly to negative school
experiences. Research shows that anti-LGBT school victimization
results in poor academic performance and negative school attitudes,
mental health, and risk behaviors. New studies have identified
characteristics of schools that are associated with inclusion and
safety for LGBT students, including practices and policies that are
associated with positive school climate and student wellbeing.
Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Schooling brings together
contributions from a diverse group of researchers, policy analysts,
and education advocates from around the world to synthesize the
practice and policy implications of research on sexual orientation,
gender identity, and schooling. The book is interdisciplinary, as
studies of LGBT students and schooling have emerged across
disciplines including education, clinical, school, and
developmental psychology; sociology; and public health. Included
are syntheses of key areas of research; examples of new
international models for educational practice; case studies of
transformational policy and practice; and specific examples of the
nexus of research, practice, and policy. The fundamental goal of
this book is to advance social justice related to sexual
orientation and gender identity through strengthening the
relationship between research, practice, and policy to support LGBT
students and schools. It will be of interest to school,
developmental, and clinical psychologists, educators and school
administrators, and LGBT scholars.
