"It Feels Like Diversity as Usual": Navigating Institutional Politics as LGBTQ+ Professionals
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v58 n1 p94-109 2021
LGBTQ+ affairs professionals are often marginalized in their work and identities and therefore develop strategies to resist this continued marginalization. Using a critical conceptual framework, the traditionally heterogendered institution (THI), we show how LGBTQ+ affairs staff resist bureaucratic systems in their praxis to center LGBTQ+ (and other minoritized) identities on their campuses and how administrators who supervise LGBTQ+ affairs professionals might improve their praxes and better support LGBTQ+ affairs professionals.
