I Love the Work, But the Work Doesn't Love Me: How Cisgender Supervisors and Leaders Can Better Lead Transgender Staff of Color in Higher Education
Includes a Live Web Event on 04/10/2025 at 3:30 PM (EDT)
Are you a cisgender supervisor in higher education or human resources officer? Trans people in the U.S. are experiencing an unprecedented amount of anti-trans laws and rhetoric, which creates psychological and physical violence in the workplace. This session is based on Dr. Bri Sérráno's dissertation and will provide cisgender supervisors and leaders opportunities to better understand the experiences of transgender staff of color and critically engage with their positionality and power related to policy and practices in higher education.
Learning Outcomes
1. Distinguish the impact of cisgender supervisory leadership on BIPOC trans supervises
2. Examine how cisgender identities perpetuate trans violence and articulate personal responsibilities in addressing it
3. Analyze the lived experiences of BIPOC trans staff within higher education
