Abstract

As higher education professionals work to reduce barriers in curriculum and instruction and cultivate inclusive online educational environments, it is crucial to address the unique challenges faced by gender-expansive students, a population that has received minimal attention in research and practice. This chapter focuses on applying universal design for learning (UDL) principles to address the challenges faced by gender-expansive students in higher education settings, particularly in online learning environments. Gender-expansive students often encounter unique social and academic hurdles that significantly impact their educational outcomes and well-being compared to their cisgender peers. This chapter delves into the alignment between UDL principles and the needs of gender-expansive students, highlighting strategies to identify and mitigate barriers to meaningful access in curriculum and instruction.
