The Use of Language in Gender-Inclusive Housing Practices and Research
Feldman, Steven
Journal of Student Affairs, New York University, v18 2022
Recent scholarship indicates a growing emergence in research on the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) college students and on the ways in which colleges and universities do or do not address the specific needs of TGNC students (Beemyn, 2005; Beemyn, 2012; Goldberg et al., 2018; Nicolazzo, 2015). As visibility increases for TGNC individuals, the higher education industry, specifically student affairs (HESA), is tasked with keeping up with the movement to provide adequate services for its students (Nicolazzo, 2017). In this article, the author delves into examples of gender-inclusive housing practices, examines policies and institutional environments, and discusses the implications of using and misusing language on gender-inclusive housing practices and, by extension, the students that utilize them.
