    Dr. Jessica Fish

    Keynote

    Despite social progress, sexual and gender diverse adolescence continue to be at greater risk for poor mental health and substance use when compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. At the same time, more youth are recognizing and acknowledging their sexual and gender diversity than ever before and “coming out” as LGBTQ+ at younger ages. This talk will discuss the current research on contemporary sexual and gender diverse youth and the various factors that undermine and support their positive development and health as they age into young adulthood.

    Powerful Pronouns

    Joe Rand

    Powerful Pronouns

    Pronouns are words that take the place of people’s names. The most common pronouns are She/Her/Hers and He/Him/His, and are traditionally related to a person’s sex assigned at birth. However, just like our names, pronouns carry indicators of our identity and can be tied to gender identity rather than sex assigned at birth. This session will explore proper pronoun use and approaches that can be drawn on for youth development professionals to better understanding the significance of pronoun use and how it contributes to inclusion, acceptance, and belonging. Workshop participants will practice sharing pronouns and better understand the relationship between pronouns, names, and identity by creating a nameplate to introduce themselves to a small group to further put the enhanced knowledge into practice.

    Trans Identity and Intersectionality

    Lu Ferrell

    Trans Identity and Intersectionality

    This training encourages participants to think more broadly and intersectionally about the identities and experiences of transgender, gender queer, gender fluid, gender non-conforming, gender variant, and non-binary identifying students and colleagues. We will engage in interactive activities, scenarios, and discussion around how to support trans* students and colleagues in your professional work. Participants will develop an understanding of the bias incidents that transgender and gender non-conforming students and colleagues may experience, and the assumptions, perceptions, or stereotypes that people may make based on gender expression. As we consider specific scenarios of transphobic bias incidents that could and have happened at UNH, participants will discuss ways to respond, provide support to trans individuals, and be an ally.

     Understanding the Effect of 4-H on Gay Male Youth Involved in Agriculture

    Dr. Jeff Howard

    Understanding the Effect of 4-H on Gay Male Youth Involved in Agriculture

    Adolescent development is difficult in a general sense, but compounding factors make it even more challenging for youth who happen to be gay. For many rural youth who are gay, 4-H may be the only extra-curricular outlet they have available to them. Although all children need life skills to help them become caring and contributing members of your community, LGBTQ children are profoundly vulnerable to bullying and being excluded. For many gay men within the agricultural community, the 4-H experience was one that they look back on with fondness. However, there has not been research to provide support to these anecdotal statements about the impact of 4-H club experiences on gay boys and adolescents. This workshop will present an overview of a novel research study involving 169 gay 4-H male alums. We will exploring the consistent elements of the 4-H club experience that may have been supportive or encouraging to gay male youth in feeling included and accepted based on the research findings as shared by the respondents. The session will concentrate on the major research findings to help advise youth workers regarding suggested practices and constructs that could help create more inclusive and accepting environments for LGBTQ+ youth. While this study concentrated on gay male youth, the results could influence positive environments for all LGBTQ+ youth to feel welcomed and that they belong.
