Online with LSE: Fourteen Recommendations to Create a More Inclusive Environment for LGBTQ+ Individuals in Academic Biology

This session of Online with LSE will feature a discussion with Sara Brownell, Arizona State University.

Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and otherwise nonstraight and/or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) have often not felt welcome or represented in the biology community. A recent LSE Essay offered multiple recommendations – rooted in prior literature and the collective expertise of the authors who identify as members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community – to promote greater LGBTQ+ inclusivity. This session of Online with LSE will feature a conversation with senior essay author Sara Brownell, an Associate Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. During the session, we’ll discuss actionable recommendations to help biologists, biology educators, and biology education researchers be more inclusive of individuals with LGBTQ+ identities.
