The current rise in legislation aimed at restricting discussions around gender identity in schools poses serious challenges for researchers, educators, and, most importantly, students. A new invited guess essay in Social and Personality Psychology titled "It’s All Elementary, or Is It?" by Drs. Kalee De France, Assistant Professor at University of British Columbia, Sari van Anders, Professor at Queen’s University, and Education Collaboratory Director Christina Cipriano, shines a light on the significant barriers faced when trying to understand the experiences of gender-expansive youth, particularly in elementary schools.
This essay highlights critical findings from the team’s long-form paper on gender identity measurement published in the American Psychologist open access here. Read the guest essay and calls to action here.
