The world’s only annual academic conference in lesbian studies, held in Brighton last month at the end of LGBT History Month, has been hailed a huge success by the organisers and participants. The two-day, international, interdisciplinary event was hosted by the University of Brighton LGBT and Queer Life Research Hub in conjunction with the Women’s Studies Centre, University College Dublin.
A new research project – LGBTQ Liveable Lives – wants to hear from you and to help you share your thoughts, the project has just launched a new interactive website and web-based app you can use on your phone! Visit liveablelives.org to look around and get involved!
An international research project led by the University of Brighton will explore “what makes life liveable” for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) people. The Liveable Lives project brings together academics and activists in the UK and India to identify innovative ways to create positive social change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ people.
The ‘Liveable Lives’ project, led by Dr Kath Browne at the University of Brighton, is exploring what ‘Liveable Lives’ means to people who come under the LGBTQ grouping (including but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people) and how this might be powerful in seeking positive social change for LGBTQ people beyond the equalities agenda.
