LGBTIQ and person with a disability: Australian Research

LGBTIQ...D?

Do you identify as a person with a disability and as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans*, Intersex and/or Queer?

You are invited to participate in a PhD research study exploring the experiences of people who identify as having a disability and as LGBTI or Queer.

Participation would involve taking part in a couple of interviews about your lived experience.

You can be interviewed online via audio, video and/or chat. If you live in Tasmania, you can also choose to be interviewed in-person. All participants will receive a $30 Coles/Myer gift voucher for their time.

If you are aged 18+, live in Australia, identify as LGBTI, Queer, or otherwise non-hetero or non-cis, I would love to hear from you!

Interested? Email christopher.brophy@utas.edu.au

PS
I am working with a pretty broad idea of disability. How individuals define that term is part of what I am interested in. So the main criteria for participation is that individuals describe themselves as disabled or as a person with a disability in some way. If I was to name it up, that may include sensory, physiological, cognitive, psychological, or social impairment, but it could also be broader than those things.

Federal law update

There have been lots of developments over the last few months for trans and gender diverse (and other parts of the rainbow too). Here is yours truly chatting with the fab Cannon O'Saurus on BENT TV about them.

Please spread far and wide.

PS The interview was recorded in late July - where at 8:05 I mention "we don't have a date" [re federal EO law] the laws are now definitely in force.
