In 2021, The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender launched its new PhD-student-led podcast “Crossing Waves”  featuring discussions of gender and sexuality research and activism with writers, activists and researchers. We are now  delighted to celebrate the beginning of the new year with a brand-new episode, our third in this series.
