📍 Very happy that my first sole authored publication is now available online, open access, in Sexualities. I first presented these findings at the TASA 2022 conference @AustSoc, and am happy it's finally ready to read. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

@kevin_guyan Yep. The so called “divisive debates” have also only emerged since they made this poor decision too. So really, Labor can be blamed for sparking such division.

Dr Sal Clark and I wrote for @ConversationEDU about the Government's decision to refrain from asking crucial questions about gender and sexuality in the 2026 Census. This decision completely ignores the best practice guidelines designed by the ABS, as well as NGOs and activists.
Swinburne University of Technology@Swinburne

The 2026 Census presented an opportunity to count the LGBTQIA+ population in Australia for the first time. @xvmls and Sal Clark explain why counting LGBTQIA+ Australians in the Census is so important via @ConversationEDU 👉 swi.nu/kb4w3

I really like this graphic @xvmls! the detail of binary numbers 010101 transforming into nuanced thought, really adds impact! 💡 When we place people in these confined boxes, we are risking leaving out valuable contributions from those who have been ‘othered’. #PhdVoices
#LeadOnNCDs@WePublicHealth

These categories of #sex, #gender and #sexuality, are not naturally occurring. #QueerTheory is dedicated to dismantling these categories, to create a more equitable and less restricting world for everyone involved. #PhdVoices

Just had a lovely conversation with @LopeyPen @ngampromwongse over at @WePublicHealth - we talked about using #QueerTheory in research and how we can queer institutions - tomorrow I’ll be tweeting about my PhD #PhdVoices
Penelope Joy@LopeyPen

While #QueerTheory seemed like a valuable approach for research, I felt in my first year of my PhD that as a cis hetro #WomanOfColour that it was not applicable to my work #PhdVoices Without the lived experience was there value of me learning, applying #QueerTheory to my PhD? 🤷🏾‍♀️

It's great to be part of #PhDvoices connecting with fellow PhD’ers @erin_k_f @toyaricci @xvmls @LopeyPen across so many disciplines in #PublicHealth. When I do get the rare chance to meet my PhD pals in the real world, our conversations go a bit like this... 😄📚
