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.

News and events

Mental Health Day: LGBTQ+ Mental Health Resources

Being LGBTQIA+ isn't a mental health problem, and it doesn't cause mental health problems. But those of us who are LGBTQIA+ often face difficult experiences, like discrimination and stigma. These experiences can affect our mental health. Access Mind's LGBTQIA+ mental health resources here.

Guidance and resources

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

Pride in Progress

Crafted with the expertise of our own community members, this workshop series offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding, enhance your confidence, and actively engage with LGBTQUIA+ inclusion practices.

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.

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.

LGBTQUIA+ Support

A collection of resources focussed on supporting LGBTQUIA+ students and staff, for community members and their supporters.

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.

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.
