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 means that their experiences and struggles may not be fully reflected in resources for either neurodivergent or queer people.
