Abstract
This chapter begins with an overview of the conceptual foundations of this work and the salient identities of the authors. The authors then describe the influential characteristics of rural communities, followed by a discussion about the diversity of rurality and queerness in rural communities. To fully understand rural students' experiences in college, they examine the K-12 climate for queer rural students. They then discuss considerations of psychosocial development challenges for queer rural students in higher education and conclude the chapter with implications for practice.
