Summary:

Administrators, educators, and student affairs staff face a growing need to recognize the challenges the campus environment presents to trans* students. Housing and residence life (HRL) plays an important role in the safety, well-being, and sense of belonging for college students, and this book presents the processes and steps that several institutions of higher education are undertaking to develop and implement trans* practices and policies in HRL. The first part of the book presents examples that were driven by student activism, and the second part looks at institutions where housing staff and administration took the initiative. The institutional chapters are organized around multiple facets of developing, implementing, and negotiating trans* inclusive policies and practices in housing and residence life. Contributors were asked to relate their experiences with gender-inclusive housing policies with specific focuses on campus environments, politics, policy development, implementation, and recommendations for the future. Administrators, educators, and student affairs staff will find this book useful at any stage in the process of creating gender-inclusive housing policies on their campuses. Book jacket.
