Bard alum Clark Wolff Hamel ’17, the educational director of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group PFLAG NYC, was interviewed on the podcast Leading Queer, hosted by John B. Weinsten, provost of Bard College at Simon’s Rock, and Carla Stephens, director of the Bard Queer Leadership Project at Simon’s Rock. The hosts spoke to Wolff Hamel about his work with PFLAG providing guidance for K–12 educators and administrators on following New York State’s LGBTQ+ policies.
The New York City chapter of PFLAG serves over 1.2 million students, meaning that Wolff Hamel has to balance working across more than 1700 schools. While his work centers on helping overhaul curriculums and school programs to make them more inclusive, Wolff Hamel encourages educators to add inclusive practices to what they already have in place. “It can be small, simple things that actually make a really big difference and ensure that queer young people are seeing themselves in the curriculum.”
