Abstract: Amid ongoing debates on the rights of queer and trans youth across North America, this study explores novel support approaches within one Canadian province's schools. Amendments to New Brunswick's Policy 713 in 2023, the 2SLGBTQIA + school inclusion policy, requiring parental consent for youth' chosen names and pronouns, stirred controversy across Canada. Additionally, a ban on third-party sexual health information in schools brought forth by the previous Conservative government has heightened educational tensions, and inspired antiqueer and antitrans policy making across Canada (see Moe 2023; Smith 2024). This inquiry draws from four participatory collage-making workshops held in the fall of 2023 across New Brunswick with 180 young people, from grades 9-12. Using participatory visual methods that centred creative expression and resistance, the workshops aimed to amplify queer and trans youth voices about their school experiences. Participants responded to prompts that asked them to create collages on the themes of queer and trans joy in schools, exploring current expressions and future possibilities amid educational and political challenges. Through collaging, a participatory visual research method, the study explores how youth navigate and express joy amidst growing hostilities in their educational environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
