GLARE
GLARE (GLBTQ Advocacy in Research and Education) is an active group of students, staff, and faculty in the School of Education. We are dedicated to creating safe and affirming spaces where all students, teachers, administrators, and other personnel in schools and other educational settings are welcomed and where all facets of the college’s diversity are celebrated.
Mission and History
GLARE (GLBTQ Advocacy in Research and Education) is a group of staff and faculty in the School of Education which is committed to the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or gender nonconforming children and youth. GLARE devotes itself to the preparation of the next generation of teachers and school professionals by conducting research on queer issues in schools and by developing affective, anti-oppressive pedagogical approaches for use in a variety of school settings. In its history as a gay-straight organization, GLARE has hosted numerous educational advocacy events on campus and elsewhere, including theatrical performances, guest speakers, film series, and panel presentations. GLARE’s hope is that those affected by these efforts will act on their awareness and understanding of LGBTQ issues in ways that create safe schools and safe streets for all children and families.
