Gender and Sexuality Research Collective

The University of Queensland is home to a vibrant community of researchers dedicated to advancing knowledge on gender, sexuality, equity, and social justice.

Our researchers engage with critical issues across disciplines—from education and health to media, politics, and technology—illuminating how gender and sexuality contributes to culture, institutions, and everyday life. Our collective engages with a range of critical perspectives, including gender theory, queer theory, feminist post-structuralism, etc.

Central to our approach is advocating for gender equality by producing and promoting research that challenges inequalities.  We currently host a range of diverse research projects and collaborations driving impactful change locally and globally.
