Had the BEST time presenting our work “Sex and the Survey” at @bspsuk.bsky.social, on behalf of fab co-authors @heinivaisanen.bsky.social & Linh Nguyen

We analyse surveys in France, Ghana, Senegal, and UK to answer the question ‘what if everything we knew about #SRHR was what we read in surveys?’
Slide saying “thank you” and contact details Joe.strong@qmul.ac.uk, with a meme of Samantha and Carrie in Sex and the City. Presenter at front thanking audience

Given the chaos of summer (and queer skepticism of time) we are extending the deadline for submission untill July 14th. So if you have something to contribute around queering research methods get your abstracts in! ✨
kenglish.bsky.social
Excited to announce that in collaboration with @harveyhumphrey.bsky.social & @kathbrowne.bsky.social I am editing a handbook on queering research methods & accepting chapter contributions now. Please share & get in touch if you have any questions.

uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Call for contributors: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Queering Research Methods:
Methods and Methodologies Across the
Research Process
Edited by Kirstie Ken English, Harvey Humphrey and Kath Browne We are looking for contributions for this interdisciplinary handbook on queering
research methods and methodologies. By showcasing groundbreaking work, we seek to
demonstrate to readers how each phase of the research process can be queered. By
their very nature queer approaches are not singularly definable. Therefore, we welcome
a vast range of different interpretations of what it means to queer research. We are
committed to amplifying contributions from individuals whose lived experiences and
perspectives have been marginalized, excluded or erased. The core aims of this handbook are as follows:
1.Produce a resource for students to explore diverse queer approaches to methods
2.Provide ways for readers navigate the ambiguity of queer research without
subscribing to ill-fitting categories
3.Showcase groundbreaking examples of queer research and approaches as ways to
challenge and counter moral panics and anti-queer backlash
4.To prioritise interdisciplinary and intersectional thinking across this work learning
from scholars across diverse global political contexts and career stages
5.This volume seeks to make space for queer and trans individuals from a variety of
disciplines, countries and backgrounds who undertake queer research not limited to
academics.
6.Provide examples of ways to approach queer research with ethical sensitivity in
ways which do justice to queer communities We will respond to successful submissions by Autumn 2025, with first drafts expected
in early 2026. Chapters should be less than 5,000 words.
If you are interested, please fill in our submission form where you will be asked some
information about yourself and your work and can provide an abstract (300 word
maximum). The handbook will be broken down into five sections following the
research process. You will be asked which of these five sections you think your
contribution is best suited for between:
