The LGBTQIA+ Peacemaking Book Project offers two guidebooks, Feel Secure in Yourself and Relate to Others with Confidence, published by Rowman & Littlefield, and companion e-resources self-published by each set of chapter coauthors.
Each chapter has 5-20 coauthors, with differing and sometimes politically opposing viewpoints, who came together to contribute their ideas and skills regarding the chapter topic. 120 scholars, clinicians, and/or community leaders contributed to this project. Their reason for this collaboration was to find common ground, reduce prejudice, and improve LGBTQIA+ health and self-development for a wide range of readers.
These resources are written for the general public and can be used by academics, clinicians, researchers, religious leaders, parents, and other providers. They are for conservatives and progressives who want to learn updated and integrated ideas and skills about sexuality, gender, race/ethnicity, faith/purpose of life, emotional health, resilience, and relationships.
Please come back for list.
These bios will include coeditors'/coauthors' (a) reasons/purpose/hopes to participate in this book project and in their particular chapter, (b) expertise/experiences they bring to this chapter/topic, and (c) personal and/or professional information that will help their coauthors and readers know them and their viewpoint.
This book project is a social experiment of bridge-building to reduce the historical and current polarization, misunderstandings, and harm that occur around gender/sexual diversity.
We hope to empower readers with identity development and skill development and reduce the side-taking that impairs growth. We hope these guidebooks and e-resources help you and others see the worth in yourselves and others.
Especially in these divisive political times, we hope these resources can be an inspiration for other projects.
