Intersectional Impacts on Trans-Masc Individuals\u27 Fertility
Get PDFThe world’s “first\u27\u27 pregnant man, Thomas Beatie, made headlines across the US in 2008 (Trebay, 2008). While these sensational headlines broke the ice for queer people across the country wanting to produce and carry their biological children, they did not curb the rampant transphobia, homophobia, and lack of information within the US public and the medical field. While the case of Thomas Beatie premiered over 12 years ago, the realities of biological parenthood for transmasculine individuals have not changed much as shown by a lack of information, research, training, or guidelines for providing medical and therapeutic care to trans-masc. individuals. However, recent research is slowly creating a baseline of information regarding transgender bodies and how they experience the world (de-Castro-Peraza, et al. 2019:12)
Consent Based Considerations for the Musical Theatre
Get PDFMusicals have always tended to center romantic relationships, engaging these relationships both as a plot in their own right and, often, as a metaphor for broader social considerations. Despite a historical understanding of the form as light, many contemporary musicals engage explicit sexual content, and the formal conventions of all musicals means that even non-sexual content may feel particularly intimate for performers. Musical theatre is a field that expects high levels of vulnerability and availability, but it also tends to magnify the broader industry’s challenges of scarcity thinking and high pressure for actors to be easy to work with and eager to please; if actors are going to be able to navigate the tensions of the field with health and grace, they need the support of consent-based processes in their training institutions. This article explores the genre-specific challenges and opportunities of musical theatre, offering field-specific suggestions for cultivating consent-based creative spaces in the musical theatre.

Assessing Intercultural Competence in Experiential Learning Abroad : Lessons for Educators
No full textThe old adage that travel broadens the mind may not hold true for every student studying abroad. While pre-departure and in-country support for intercultural learning can help, some students still fail to develop their intercultural competence and some even go backwards. Using a combination of quantitative (Intercultural Development Inventory) and qualitative measures, this study examines what happens in intercultural learning when students participated in a four-week experiential field school in India, preceded by a twelve-week preparation course on the ethics of international voluntourism. Results found that, while students’ pre- and post-trip Intercultural Development Inventory results varied, qualitative data gave insights into student learning and revealed important lessons for educators
