CoPQTI
UNSW Community of Practice for Inclusive Research with Queer and Trans people, and people with variations of sex characteristics (Intersex).
The CoPQTI comprises UNSW academics, professional staff, and students, both LGBTQI+ and allies, who work with queer and trans people, and people with variations of sex characteristics, to make research and practice more inclusive.
About the CoP
The continued explicit or implicit exclusion of queer and trans people, and people with variations of sex characteristics, from public, social, and cultural life has long-reaching implications. This exclusion often starts with the language used in research and associated practice. Despite the proliferation of inclusive language guides in various domains, there is no 'one size fits all' model that can conceivably respond to the varied, complex and intersectional aspects of inclusivity. As such, language change needs to be accompanied by effective research practice.
The CoPQTI aims to generate and support enhanced capacity in sector-leading inclusive practice with queer and trans people, and people with variations of sex characteristics, to:
from across UNSW and beyond on the implementation of the national standards.
on inclusive research practice across a range of policy areas, such as public health, medicine, law, and social sciences.
to investigate the considerable impact inclusive research will have on future research findings and public policy development.
to generate interdisciplinary consideration of complex requests for advice from UNSW and beyond.
