Summary "Every day, we hear examples of how people, organizations, and ideas are moving across borders. We also hear talk about fairness and justice as fundamental social values. How, though, do these two discourses--one related to internationalization and the other related to equity--actually converge in practice and experience? The Western post-secondary institution is one context in which that question might be asked, and people who are minoritized for their gender or sexual identities can help us answer that question. While equity-oriented discourses assure lesbians, gay men, bisexual people, transgender, and queer people (LGBTQ) that the post-secondary setting is a space where they will be free from harassment and discrimination, an internationalization discourse, which embraces new opportunities and strategies for researching, studying or teaching across national borders, might call them to engage in places where they themselves are illegal. Equity and Internationalization on Campus: Intersecting or Colliding Discourses for LGBTQ People? takes up these ideas by sharing findings from a study that exlpored how post-secondary faculty, students, and staff who self-identified as LGBTQ or ally experienced the confluence of discourses related to equity and internationalization. Although participants in the study were located in Western Canadian institutions, the findings offer much to individuals and institutions located elsewhere, especially researchers, students, and post-secondary policy-makers and other staff concerned about all forms of social identification and marginalization, and committed to developing an equitable version of internationalization and an international version of equity" Provided by publisher
