Projects
The experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and many other sexual and gender identities) students in engineering is a deeply understudied area within the Canadian context. With the goal of increasing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) in the engineering classroom, we must first identify the barriers faced by queer students, as well as what strategies and measures have been helpful in supporting them. The primary motivation of this research is a desire to better understand the population of queer undergraduate engineering students and their experiences in the classroom with the driving research question: how does engineering culture impact queer identity and experiences in engineering classrooms?
