Gender and Sexuality researchers at SGSC investigate the significance of gender and sexuality in shaping identity, culture and society in domestic and global contexts.
SGSC's Gender and Sexuality researchers are committed to transformative social change through applied and interdisciplinary research, as well as evidence-based advocacy for policy and practice reform.
Members of the group take an intersectional and gender- and sexuality-inclusive approach to their work. They recognise the complex ways in which gender intersects with other markers of identity, including race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability and socio-economic status to shape bodies and lived experiences, or to produce inequality and violence that are not experienced equally by people or in the same way.
The Gender and Sexuality group collaborate with researchers across a range of disciplines including social policy, social work, justice and criminology, psychology, international development, business, geography, cybersecurity, education and law. Their cutting-edge research informs the development of policy and laws, raises public awareness of a range of societal issues, and contributes to scholarly debates in Australia and in a global context. They work on a diverse range of projects in collaboration with government, industry and the not-for-profit sector.
