DCD. Chase J. CatalanoZNZ Nicolazzo

Key Points

  • Participant accounts reveal significant insights into the historical emergence of LGBTQ+ educational interventions.
  • The study highlights how institutions have absorbed social justice practices through mechanisms of cis- and heteronormativity.
  • Queer phenomenological analysis provides a framework for understanding the effects of educational interventions on campus dynamics.
  • Findings indicate that these educational interventions may reinforce institutional norms, rather than challenge them.

Abstract

Abstract: This study explored participant accounts of the historical emergence of LGBTQ+ social justice educational interventions (e.g., SafeZone trainings) on their campus. Using a queer phenomenological analysis, the study details how institutions absorbed activist-inspired educational practices into cis- and heteronormative mechanisms that reify assimilative (and thus institutional) norms.
