International Higher Education: A Discussion on the College Experience for International Students Who Identify as LGBT+ and Development of an Interview Tool
Jacob W. Werst; Brandon B. Million
Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, v17 n1 p156-166 2025
This short paper examines the category of international students who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or any additional sexual identity that falls within the spectrum (LBGT+) in higher education. As the number of international students increases, the likelihood that more of them could be open about sexual identity in more liberal environments, such as college campuses, the unique needs of this intersectionality must be addressed as its own category. This paper examines the implications of what conducting interviews can mean for further study on international students who identify as LGBT+. Furthermore, this paper addresses study implementation to improve the field of study for this sexual identity category of students in higher education. Finally, we offer guidance on how colleges and universities can provide support to international LGBT+ students.
