Dr. Tobias R. Morgan, chief student affairs officer at Lincoln University of Missouri, has authored a chapter in the newly published book Embracing Queer Students’ Diverse Identities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities: A Primer for Presidents, Administrators, and Faculty. His chapter is titled, “Understanding the Engagement and Politics of Queer HBCU Student Leaders.” 

This book, edited by Steve D. Mobley Jr., Nadrea R. Njoku, Jennifer M. Johnson and Lori D Patton, serves as both a call to action and a comprehensive resource for leaders at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). It addresses critical historical and contemporary issues related to expanding inclusive policies and practices for LGBTQ+ members of HBCU communities.

The chapters, written by HBCU presidents, faculty, administrators, alumni, and researchers, explore the unique challenges of supporting LGBTQ+ students within these distinct college settings. The aim is to mobilize HBCU communities, higher education scholars and scholar-practitioners to take urgent and thoughtful action in recognizing and supporting LGBTQ+ students.

Embracing Queer Students’ Diverse Identities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities is available for purchase on Rutgers University Press, using a discount code (RUP30), and on Amazon.
