Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this article is to examine themes of campus climate, LGBTQ identity construction, and visibility within LGBTQ presentations at ACPA and NASPA national conferences over the last 30 years. The authors frame their analysis utilizing prominent LGBT and queer issues scholarship in higher education research. Findings demonstrate the role that ACPA and NASPA maintain in supporting LGBTQ communities and topics, and point to important implications for student affairs conferences and professional practice.
