Being Out and Gay in High School: Victimization and Young Adult
March 24, 2010 by admin
Friday, March 26 3:30 – 5:00PM, Century Theater at NDSU Memorial Union,
open to the public
The Human Development and Family Science Gertrude Weigum Hinsz Lecture
Series at North Dakota State University is bringing Dr. Stephen Russell to
Fargo-Moorhead to share his life work, stories and resources for local
educators, students, families and anyone that works with youth. Dr.
Russell has dedicated the last 15 years of his research to looking at
issues facing sexual minority youth – youth who are LGBT. He has looked at
the health risks for sexual minority adolescents, including whether an
adolescent’s home life, school and/or faith community lead to risk or
protect against it. Currently, Dr. Russell is conducting research that
focuses on how families, schools and other support systems can aid in the
healthy development of LGBT young people. His research has been integral
in helping advocacy organizations, school districts and state education
departments develop policy that is supportive of a learning environment
that is inclusive and safe for LGBTQ youth.
Reception to follow in the Prairie Rose Room with Dr. Russell.
