Engaging Gender for Counselors is a collection of
short essays written by counselor and higher
education graduate students while taking the gender
issues in counseling course at NC State University
in Spring 2015. The writings reflect ongoing
personal gender journeys within a world of often
rigid gender role expectations. Gender identity
development can be a challenging process for which
counseling can provide validation and support.
Counselors have to learn how we do gender in order
to be helpful in undoing the harm gender can cause and uncovering the power and beauty within.
