Queering University

Welcome to the Queering University Programme

The programme supports staff and students to develop, implement, share and sustain queer pedagogies and perspectives. It encourages teaching & learning, pastoral, and other practices that are inclusive of LGBTQUIA+ people, and improves understanding in the classroom and wider university settings.

If this is your first visit, or you need some help getting started:

[This month's featured video is 'Trans-inclusive feminism, gender critical feminism: Culture wars in the media' from UCL Institute of Education's Trans-Inclusivity Seminar Series.]

Support & Resources

This collection draws together some key resources to support those wishing to engage with queer pedagogies, and LGBTQUIA+ inclusive practices.

Free Pronoun Badges

The Rainbow Taskforce bulk-purchased pronoun badges in order to make them available to staff and students. You can collect an individual badge, or request a set of badges for a group or event.

The Pronouns Pledge

Taking our pronouns pledge makes it simple to engage with inclusive best practice on pronouns, and to build a movement of people taking these steps together.

Names at Warwick

We've worked with teams across the University to address issues with the use of legal name data. Find out how to update chosen and legal names (staff and student systems), how and when name data should used, and how to report any issues.

Living Positively

We're supporting everyone to live, work, and study positively at Warwick. Access support for HIV+ staff and students, information on HIV testing and prevention, and develop understanding and allyship.

Studying Solo

Connecting estranged students with support and community, educating supporters, researching students' experiences, and improving support, with the ultimate goal of improving estranged students' experiences at Warwick.

Neuroqueer: What does this mean?

‘Neuroqueer’ refers to those who identify as both neurodivergent and queer. Neuroqueer people may find that their neurodivergence can affect their experience of gender or sexuality, and vice versa. This means that their experiences and struggles may not be fully reflected in resources for either neurodivergent or queer people.

Anonymous Question Service

We recognise that there are barriers to asking about LGBTQUIA+ inclusive and queer practice, and are committed to breaking down those barriers.

LGBTQUIA+ Student Experience Research

The programme is seeking a better institutional understanding of LGBTQUIA+ students' experiences at Warwick.

LGBTQUIA+ Staff Experience Insight

The programme is working with Social Inclusion to further our institutional understanding of LGBTQUIA+ staff experiences at Warwick.
