Collaborative Research Project

In 2008/2009, Elizabethe Payne, Q Intern Kris Goodrich (now graduated), and Melissa Luke in the Educational Counseling, designed a course progression to prepare future school counselors to support LGBT students. A team of researchers from Dr. Payne’s previous qualitative research methods courses conducted observations and created detailed fieldnotes. Those data are currently being compiled for analysis to better understand counselor resistance to supporting LGBT students.

Further data may be collected Spring 2011 as part of a Payne taught research practicum course.
