Trans* in the Neoliberal University: Students Relationship with Georgia State University and its LGBTQ+ Support Structures
Year: 2024
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This ethnography shows how trans* Georgia State University (GSU) undergraduate students navigate the university, interact with university-created LGBTQ+ support structures, and how university-created LGBTQ+ support structures engaged with them. Trans* students find it difficult to navigate GSU because so much of the universitys bureaucratic structures involve classifying people into gender categories. Through interviews, autoethnography, and participant observation, trans* students negotiation of that pressure is illuminated and interrogated in this work. Ultimately, queer students find GSU-created and sponsored organizations lacking in genuine support but take the pieces they need and build the rest on their own.
