Download or read book LGBTQ Youth and Education written by Cris Mayo and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition is essential reading for educators and other school community members who are navigating the increasingly complicated laws and legal rulings related to LGBTQ students, employees, and community members. It combines historical, contemporary, theoretical, and practical information to help educators address exclusionary practices in schools related to gender identity, sexuality, racism, sexism, and other forms of bias that shape student experiences. To enable educators to better understand their obligations to students in relation to policy, staff training, daily school climate, pedagogy, and curriculum, the author has extensively revised this popular text to include updated information on the impact of same-sex marriage legalization and increasing federal recognition of transgender student rights. And because the legal terrain regarding transgender youth has been especially volatile, Mayo provides strategies educators can use to maintain ethical trans-inclusive teaching, even when local regulations appear to impede transgender inclusivity. Book Features: An examination of the pedagogical, curricular, and policy changes that can improve school experiences for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) and ally students.A new chapter on gender identity and transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive student experiences.Current policy and legal information, data, and justification for LGBTQ-equitable and inclusive teaching.

Book excerpt: The premise of this project is to utilize the Arts through a multimedia platform for social justice, focusing specifically on the oppression of LGBTQ youth in foster care, by examining, analyzing, and portraying the stories of their experiences in the foster care system. The primary goals of this project are to educate and increase awareness about the challenges these youth face. Addressing these goals, I am using their narratives as the evidence source and inspiration for various art works, in an effort to raise a conversation and, hopefully, move towards engagement and involvement in changing the foster care system. In using these stories to create my own narrative through the Arts, I am revealing a truth about injustice, informing about the challenges faced by LGBTQ youth in care, disclosing false assumptions, and to making visible this group. I set out to convey the circumstances and personal histories of LGBTQ foster youth in a vivid and compelling manner, to heighten awareness, and dispel incomplete and inaccurate perceptions. The difficulties LGBTQ youth confront when formulating their identity within the confines of a primarily heterosexist and homophobic child welfare system are depicted in the labels attached to them, their risk-taking behaviors, and their greater propensity toward low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and suicide. Artisitically representing these challenges beyond statistical data has impact, not only on the foster care community, foster parents, and social workers, but on the LGBTQ youth themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth are disproportionately represented in the U.S. youth homelessness population. In Coming Out to the Streets, Brandon Andrew Robinson examines their lives. Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork in central Texas, Coming Out to the Streets looks into the LGBTQ youth's lives before they experience homelessness—within their families, schools, and other institutions—and later when they navigate the streets, deal with police, and access shelters and other services. Through this documentation, Brandon Andrew Robinson shows how poverty and racial inequality shape the ways that the LGBTQ youth negotiate their gender and sexuality before and while they are experiencing homelessness. To address LGBTQ youth homelessness, Robinson contends that solutions must move beyond blaming families for rejecting their child. In highlighting the voices of the LGBTQ youth, Robinson calls for queer and trans liberation through systemic change.

A literature review details the history of LGBTQ youth in foster care, their risks and current interventions to support this population. A number of potential funding sources are identified, with the David Bohnette Foundation selected to approach. The proposal includes a needs assessment, implementation method, staffing, evaluation and budget narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep and intimate look at the lives of LGBTQ youth in foster care, vividly chronicling their struggles, fears and hardships, and revealing the force that allows them to carry on: the irrepressible power of hope. In this lyrical debut, Ryan Berg immerses readers in the gritty, dangerous, and shockingly underreported world of homeless LGBTQ teens in New York. As a caseworker in a group home for disowned LGBTQ teenagers, Berg witnessed the struggles, fears, and ambitions of these disconnected youth as they resisted the pull of the street, tottering between destruction and survival. Focusing on the lives and loves of eight unforgettable youth, No House to Call My Home traces their efforts to break away from dangerous sex work and cycles of drug and alcohol abuse, and, in the process, to heal from years of trauma. From Bella's fervent desire for stability to Christina's irrepressible dreams of stardom to Benny's continuing efforts to find someone to love him, Berg uncovers the real lives behind the harrowing statistics: over 4,000 youth are homeless in New York City -- 43 percent of them identify as LGBTQ. Through these stories, Berg compels us to rethink the way we define privilege, identity, love, and family. Beyond the tears, bluster, and bravado, he reveals the force that allows them to carry on -- the irrepressible hope of youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents the Queer Students of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation's (QSAPP) research into housing for LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness in New York City. Based at Columbia GSAPP, QSAPP's interdisciplinary project looks at this issue from the various disciplines of the built environment represented at the school: architecture, real estate, planning, and preservation. The book draws on a range of sources--including data from government and social service organizations, operating models of existing organizations in New York, and interviews with service providers and experts in the field--and perspectives in sociology, public health, and advocacy. Funding is often cited as one of the biggest barriers to solving this housing crisis, but an analysis of funding models and strategies does not currently exist. In addition, housing is a design problem but there are no published reports that analyze LGBTQ youth housing from a spatial perspective. QSAPP hopes that by visualizing this issue and highlighting ways in which these shelters fit into specific planning and real estate systems in the city, we can further shed light on the specific needs of LGBTQ youth and help advise on ways forward with these concerns in mind.

Book excerpt: The current study explored the experiences of LGBTQ foster care alumni in the Los Angeles County child welfare system. The researchers interviewed six participants and utilized life history interviews and Photovoice methods. Participants were between the ages of 18-26, identified as LGBTQ, and resided within the Los Angeles County foster care system. Individuals first participated in a face-to-face semi-structured interview where they were asked a series of questions relating to their experiences before, during, and after foster care. Following the interview, the participants were asked to take 5-10 photographs over the course of 7-14 days that represented past experiences and hopes for the future. Participants then scheduled a follow-up dialogue session with the researcher where they were able to discuss their photographs. All data collected in this viii study was analyzed and then consensually coded into twelve domains: pre-placement history, placement history, transitioning out of foster care, educational experiences, mental health, substance abuse, LGBTQ identity, mentorship, resilience, systemic change, sexual/romantic relationships, and significant relationships. The results suggest that LGBTQ youth in foster care face unique challenges before, during, and after their involvement with the child welfare system. Some of these challenges include substance abuse, homelessness, and barriers to accessing mental health services; however, despite these obstacles, participants remained hopeful and resilient. Many participants attributed their resilience to faith, religion, and/or spirituality; creative activities and outlets, such as music or writing; and volunteering/community involvement. They also spoke highly of mentors and family members, or family members of choice, that assisted them throughout their transition from foster care. Recommendations for systemic change include recruitment of more LGBTQ foster parents, additional access to resources, and increased support and awareness from those working directly with this population.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book that “casts a searing eye on the labyrinth that is the American foster care system” (NPR’s On Point). Who are the children of foster care? What, as a country, do we owe them? Cris Beam, a foster mother herself, spent five years immersed in the world of foster care looking into these questions and tracing firsthand stories. The result is To the End of June, an unforgettable portrait that takes us deep inside the lives of foster children in their search for a stable, loving family. Beam shows us the intricacies of growing up in the system—the back-and-forth with agencies, the rootless shuffling between homes, the emotionally charged tug between foster and birth parents, the terrifying push out of foster care and into adulthood. Humanizing and challenging a broken system, To the End of June offers a tribute to resiliency and hope for real change. “A triumph of narrative reporting and storytelling.” —The New York Times “[A] powerful . . . and refreshing read.” —Chicago Tribune “A sharp critique of foster-care policies and a searching exploration of the meaning of family.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Heart-rending and tentatively hopeful.” —Salon
