Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
Pinar (1975) wrote that part of the obligation of currere is to speak from where one lives, making clear this biographic basis (p. 5). In this study, I employ the currere method of critical reflection to better understand my educational and institutional journey as a founding director of an LGBTQ office on a public university in the Southeast operating under an inclusive excellence model. Through currere, I explore educational experiences as a founding director as part of this narrative, my journey through the narrative, and, ultimately, the study of one institution's process in creating and developing an LGBTQ office. Through a series of vignettes, I use currere to better understand my curricular journey of working with an inclusive excellence model to integrate LGBTQ inclusion throughout an institution. This study details my experiences as a founding LGBTQ director through a conscientious engagement with each of the four steps of currere. I use currere to return to the past in order to take note of the decisions that were made, the frameworks that were used, and the various data sources representing conversations, moments, and challenges that occurred over a seven-year period of building an LGBTQ office. Through currere vignettes, I explore culture, education, and policy change through pop up drag shows, an LGBTQ-themed study abroad program, nationally branded food concepts, and driving policy change through programming.
