Could you be the next Postgraduate Student Representative for the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender?

The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender welcomes applications from Doctoral Students to join its Management Board as a volunteer Student Representative.

About the Centre

The Centre for Transforming Sexuality & Gender (CTSG) brings together undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral and post-doctoral students as well as early career researchers, visiting researchers and senior professors, to focus on issues relating to sexuality, gender, and social change.

Many of our researchers have a shared commitment to feminist, queer theoretical approaches, using a variety of methodologies, and many have expertise in participatory, visual and creative methods as well as what might be called more traditional methods.

Our interdisciplinary research contributes to local, national, and global challenges specialising around three key areas:

1) LGBTQIA+ lives and communities
2) Health, care, and wellbeing, and
3) Gendered inequalities
