Shared Realities: Perceptions and Experiences of Gay and Lesbian School Administrators
Watkins, Nancy A.; Mooney, Eric James
Journal of Education Human Resources, v40 n4 p477-499 Oct 2022
This article discusses research about LGBTQ school leadership and notes differences in participants' perceptions of treatment in their professional environments. The study employed mixed methods to identify the perceptions and experiences of unfair treatment and discrimination of lesbian and gay public-school administrators working in K-12 settings. A small, purposeful sample of 32 participants reported having experienced varying degrees of unfair treatment or discrimination either in their professional lives or in their private/personal lives. Findings suggest that educational leaders have a role in addressing and preventing unfair treatment and discrimination that contribute to the dissatisfaction and diminished leadership of lesbian and gay administrators serving in K-12 education.
