Beemyn, Curtis, Davis, and Tubbs (2005) found that research solely about the experiences of transgender students is sparse, but existing research demonstrates transgender students face higher rates of harassment, discrimination and marginalization than their cisgender peers.

Safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions, the disinvitation of speakers, demands to rename campus landmarks--debate over these issues began in lecture halls and on college quads but ended up on op-ed pages in the "New York Times" and the "Wall Street Journal," on cable news, and on social media.

Earlier research has stated that there is a risk that traditional gender roles are conserved in non-formal popular music education, which might challenge teachers when it comes to offering equal learning opportunities. This article presents results from an interview study regarding the situation of female electric guitarists in popular music…

Preparing classroom teachers to work with students with diverse learning needs is a challenge that has been well documented by the literature. Earning a dual license in general and special education has been posited as one possible solution to this challenge. This paper reports on a qualitative study that examined the differences between dually…

Sex education can be heteronormative (e.g., assuming all students are heterosexual), which marginalizes sexual minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals) by not exploring their identities and safe sex practices. However, research has rarely explored the experiences of transgender (trans) individuals in sex education, even though…
