Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the state of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in software engineering education. The review synthesizes findings from various studies to highlight the experiences and perceptions of LGBTQIA+ students and educators, as well as the impact of inclusive pedagogical practices. Results indicate a predominantly heteronormative and exclusionary climate negatively affecting LGBTQIA+ students' sense of belonging and retention. Innovative pedagogical approaches, such as integrating LGBTQIA+-inclusive problem sets and readings on diversity, show promise in fostering more inclusive environments. The review underscores the need for systemic changes, including increased visibility of LGBTQIA+ issues, diversity training, and supportive networks, to create a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape. Future research should focus on expanding these efforts and exploring the perspectives of LGBTQIA+ educators to fully understand and address the challenges they face within software engineering higher education.
