How to Gain Cultural Proficiency and Accommodate Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students in Communication Centers
Lampkin, E. M.
Communication Center Journal, v3 n1 p163-165 2017
The importance of cultural proficiency within communication centers has greatly been discussed in Students Helping Students: A Guide for Peer Educators on College Campuses by Karim and Ross, where they focus on ways in which peer consultants can gain and react with cultural understanding and acceptance for various people groups (2010). Conforming through accommodations and by gaining and growing cultural awareness, cultural tolerance, and cultural fluency can change the lives and educational pursuits of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming students. If communication centers follow Karim & Ross' ideas of being a place where barriers are removed and students come to learn at their own ability level, why not help students be their best? Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming students need allies who will practice cultural awareness, cultural tolerance, and cultural fluency--both in and out of the communication center.
