Championing Queer and Trans Inclusion Beyond the Campus Resource Center examines how various areas within student affairs and higher education can support trans and queer (TQ) students and employees beyond the scope of LGBTQ+ Resource Centers.
Chapters explore the challenges, considerations, and labor involved in advancing TQ inclusion across roles such as admissions, two-year college student services, disability justice, and more. A diverse team of contributors blends research, firsthand accounts, and actionable strategies to help readers develop equity-centered policies, programs, and projects.
A love letter by and for TQ people, this book is an essential resource for anyone committed to creating sustainable interventions that ensure campuses truly welcome and celebrate TQ lives.
“This volume focuses on fierce and fabulous storytellers who resist cisheteronormativity and its violent impact at our institutions. These stories bridge differences and functional areas, inspiring a beautiful trans and queer future!”

“What stands out the most to me in the title of this solid edited publication is the word: Beyond. Championing Queer and Trans Inclusion Beyond the Campus Resource Center honors the great work of cultural and identity centers while also challenging the campus community to commit to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for trans and queer students. Through the sharing of strategies, programs, policy audits, and personal moments, this new addition to the canon of higher education literature continues the legacy of those who have impacted students, faculty, and staff with their unwavering dedication to belonging and community on campus.”

“While I believe strongly in the importance and the possibility of gender and sexuality centers, even in the best of times the work of supporting TQ populations must be cross-campus partnership. In our current political moment, centers are being shuttered and vital programs are ending. This book provides leaders with a framework for how higher education institutions can (and must!) transform TQ equity, justice, and belonging work in partnership with and beyond resource centers. This book meets the moment and provides insight in how we might dream something different with and for our communities.”

“This book is at once both invitation and map, each chapter a route towards a utopian vision of higher education’s possible futures, reflecting thoughtful practices across the institution back to us as glimpses into a co-authored tomorrow.”
