Abstract
This study explores the transitions experienced by
lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ+)
students throughout their university education.
Formby (2015) highlighted the negative experiences of
LGBTQ+ students in higher education in her report of
a study evidencing how LGBTQ+ students experience
negative campus climates, discrimination and
invisibility in the curriculum. Existing literature often
emphasises the experiences of gay male students and
there is limited research on the experiences of lesbian,
bisexual and trans students. Literature exploring
intersectional identities of students is also limited.
