Internationalization of education has made it even more important to have a good command of English, a global language. Concurrently, a similar trend recently surfaced in research, rivalling English, i.e., Languages other than English (LOTE). Review of the existing literature reveals prolific literature on the roles and functions of first, second,…

This article explores an apparent contradiction in LGBTTIQA+ students' narratives around how safe they feel on campus. While declaring they feel 'safe' and supported by other students and staff, participants' narratives contain a myriad of examples indicating they feel 'unsafe'. These incidents emerge during photo-elicitation interviews where…

The authors sought to examine how queer and trans students' residential living relates to perceptions of campus climate.
