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





On the weekend (hooray) the #PhdVoices tag team will tweet about the financial side of the PhD journey in Australia. We want as many people as possible to sign and share this petition x.com/RaiseHDRStipen…

I @xvmls am a #PhdCandidate @swinHASS, a research assistant (RA), and an academic tutor in #Sociology – today I will be discussing my PhD research and how I came to be interested in #research #PhdVoices #AcademicTwitter @Swinburne



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

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? 🤷🏾♀️
