Researchers found in the Directory range from our PhD and early career researchers to Professors. Within these profiles, you will find details of research interests, ongoing research projects, noteworthy gender and sexualities-related publications, and teaching activity. We hope these entries will enable researchers to connect with one another (across and beyond the institution), encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration.
Course entries on the Directory provide insight into the content taught in each course, the course’s credit level, and the year taken. Course entries provide a valuable resource to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, assisting in navigating gender and sexualities studies pathways through their University programmes.
