Speaking at #britsoc26 this week✨ Thursday: Discussing my chapter on Scotland’s census in @yvettetaylor.bsky.social book Queer in a Wee Place. Friday: @harveyhumphrey.bsky.social & I will present how our queer approaches inform our teaching of social research methods

Wild to have a chapter in a book Jackie Kay liked 🤩 Thank you @yvettetaylor.bsky.social for including me in this fantastic collection! My chapter presents Scotland’s 2022 census as world leading for LGBTQ+ representation while argueing this hasn’t translated to positive outcomes for us.

Was great getting to talk about my chapter in Queer in a Wee Place. I discuss how Scotland’s census is arguably world leading in terms of LGBTQ+ data representation but that doesn’t translate to positive outcomes for our community. Thank you to @yvettetaylor.bsky.social for putting this together!

The Challenging Justice Inequalities project has entered its next phase! They have been working with a group of young people (14-18) to co-produce a project about intersectionality and justice experiences.
