Lunch & Learn: Working with Trans Students

Facilitated by:
Will Vanroosenbeek, Director, Pride Center
Deb Hoskins, Inclusive Excellence Coordinator, Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning

Bring your lunch for this conversation about working with students who identify as transgender or non-binary.  This is an emerging population, whose terms and activism is changing at the speed of social media. We know it's hard to keep up.  During this informal session, we will discuss several issues arising from the questions Will and Deb are hearing from you, our colleagues:

  1. Best practices for pronouns.
  2. First day strategies, including how to educate other students in your class.
  3. The expectations of today's traditional-aged LGBTQIAA students, including "allyship" and "identities" from their perspectives, and how to talk with the student who is angry with you. 
  4. Gendered language in your course/gender in your course. 
Expect no presentation, although we will have a handout with some resources for you.  We look forward to a conversation while we enjoy our lunches.
