Trans students are navigating the challenges of pursuing a higher education while also living in an increasingly hostile socio-political environment targeting trans people. So, what can colleges and universities do to affirm trans students and create spaces of safety and belonging?

In this episode, we invited Edgar Fields, MS, a recent graduate of the master's program at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, to discuss his lived experience as a trans student and to talk about how higher ed institutions can create supportive and inclusive spaces for trans students to thrive both personally and academically.
