Abstract
This article draws on a recent U.K. research project about
lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) perspectives on
university to examine the implications for pastoral care
and other service provision on campus. In a departure
from previous scholarship that has tended to understand
LGBT+ students as ‘vulnerable’ and/or needing ‘support’, it
argues that university spaces should be (re)framed in a way
that moves beyond (only) personal or individual ‘care’. The
article outlines some of the issues that LGBT+ students may
face under the following headings: Curriculum and course
content; Discrimination, prejudice and bullying; Facilities and service provision on campus; A continuum of experiences.
Following these, a final section draws some conclusions and
implications for practice in higher education.
