This paper develops and applies the emergent concept of institutional transphobia to explore the barriers to transgender research in early years education. It argues that institutional processes embed and disguise the logic of transphobia by drawing on dominant, taken-for-granted claims of the inappropriateness or irrelevance of gender-focused education interventions that challenge cis-normativity and heteronormativity. Drawing on the barriers and difficulties experienced through a PhD journey, the paper explores how institutional transphobia was evident in the seemingly neutral reasons for denying site access and ethics approvals, divergent institutional ethics requirements, the tensions between individual support and institutional processes, and the expectations on research higher degree students. The paper concludes that current processes and priorities must be challenged and replaced with an institutional mandate that explicitly values and welcomes transgender research as a priority.

Most common eyetrackers today use corneal reflections to follow and record a person's gaze while looking at something within an accuracy of 5 mm. This technology offers standard communications to the disabled community, brings new objective measures to supplement traditional qualitative tests of customer engagement, and enables all users to interact with and control a computer by eye movement alone. This article presents the principles, advances, and future applications of eyetracking technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
