dc.description.abstract"This qualitative study explores the impact of heteronormativity on LGBTQ+ students and future teachers at the Faculty of Languages, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), Mexico. Grounded in intersectionality theory and narrative inquiry, the research examines how societal norms shape identity expression, emotional well-being, and inclusion in educationalsettings. Through biographic-narrative interviews with six LGBTQ+ participants, the study reveals three key themes: (1) family dynamics, where rejection or conditional acceptance exacerbates anxiety and self-esteem issues; (2) school environments, where bullying from peers and educators reinforces heteronormative expectations; and (3) future perspectives, highlighting participants’ aspirations—and apprehensions—about fostering LGBTQ+ inclusivity as teachers. Findings underscore systemic barriers, such as the erasure of queer histories in curricula and workplace discrimination against LGBTQ+ educators. Participants’ narratives illustrate how clothing, behavior, and language become sites of negotiation between self-expression and societal conformity. Despite institutional challenges, the study identifies resilience strategies, including community support and advocacy for inclusive pedagogies. The thesis concludes with recommendations for educator training, policy reforms, and curricular changes to disrupt heteronormativity in Mexican higher education. By centering marginalized voices, this research contributes to debates on equity in teacher preparation programs and calls for actionable steps toward safe, affirming academic spaces".
