Navigating the Job Market as an LGBTQ+ Candidate
September 2022

Collecting Information on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in NCES Surveys
Historically, researchers interested in conducting quantitative research on education policy and LGBTQ+ populations have been limited by the availability of survey and administrative data. Happily, there are growing opportunities in this area. Please plan to join us virtually (via Zoom) for an hour to hear from researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) on some new developments!
Although this event may be of greatest interest to education policy researchers interested in LGBTQ+ populations, we envision that it will also be of interest to a broader audience of education policy researchers who work with federal survey data. We also believe it will be useful to education policy researchers who conduct their own surveys to learn about best practices around asking questions around SOGI identity. This event is co-sponsored by APPAM & AEFP LGBTQ+ Researchers.
