University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Research on the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals often focuses on their hardships. This book, however, weaves personal narratives with empirical research to highlight the ways in which LGBTQ+ individuals are resilient. This book shaped the way that I construct research questions on the lived experiences of the LGBTQ+ community as it highlights how the connection with others in the LGBTQ+ community can impact so much of a person’s life.
