Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) students may feel social threat and isolation in academic settings, particularly in certain STEM fields. Many faculty ask for pronouns in classrooms or use a variety of ways of signal values of inclusion and practices allyship strategies. However, little work has been done to understand how students (both cisgender and TGNC students) respond to these actions. This project aims to study how students react to the use of gender pronouns in faculty email signatures.
