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.

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.

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