to sexuality, gender and social change with a core focus on producing 
research with community partners that impacts on policy and practice.

The cluster incorporates two key research themes:

of our researchers have a shared commitment to feminist, 
post-structuralist and queer theoretical approaches and use a variety of 
methodologies that are participatory, visual and creative.

specialising in gender and sexualities research across a broad range of 
subject areas, including:

Human Geography
