This Track invites submissions that showcase research, theory, and pedagogy that inform all levels of practice with and education about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population. Papers exploring creative and innovative research, practice, and conceptual methods and models are encouraged. Presentations that highlight the strengths, diversity, and vulnerabilities of LGBT people and communities are welcome. One goal of this Track is to share knowledge that encourages dialogue about the intersection of multiple oppressions such as racism, sexism, and ableism in the lives of LGBT people.
