What might a new post-covid future look like? How might attending to the nexus of power, pollution and production induce new possibilities for the world, for health and for justice? With these provocative questions, the final seminar in our beyond the binary series makes a compelling case for an ecofeminist approach.

We're thrilled to announce that our final Beyond the Binary seminar will be going ahead online! Join us on May 5th at 6pm for a fascinating panel discussion on gender, justice and planetary health.

A panel discussion on the inter-connectedness of the physical environment, human health, gender inequality and social justice.

A panel discussion on the coloniality of gender as a concept, and as a binary division of identity.

We're sorry to announce that our third event in the Beyond the Binary series, Shifting narratives of sexual and gender non-conformity in the mid-C20 with Rebecca Jennings, has been cancelled. Apologies to all those who planned to attend.

This presentation from Natacha Kennedy draws on data from interviews with young people regarding their self-realisation as trans. Using Social Activity Method (SAM), the doctoral study identified young people’s accounts of becoming trans, from epiphany, to learning how to live their lives as young trans people. Their actual accounts are contrasted with popular images of being trans – images generally the result of ‘constructed ignorance’, trans erasure and cis-mythologisation.‍

Join us for the first seminar in our Beyond the Binary series. Exploring the issues of the cultural competence of service providers in the health care sector in relation to trans and non-binary people, the panel of clinical and nonclinical experts in trans and non-binary health will be discussing issues surrounding access to sexual health and well being.

When we talk of gender, for most of us it will be women that come to mind. In global health, discussions on the impact of gender on health tend to remain narrowly focused on women's health. But we are all gendered beings, and to understand the health of men, we must also understand the role gender norms and masculinities are playing in determining their health and wellbeing, and often, in making them sick. Join us for a series of panel discussions, followed by a keynote from Grayson Perry to explore how bringing a gender lens to men's health can lead to better health outcomes for all.
