Members of the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender work closely with academic and non-academic scholars and researchers, and are always keen to develop new and mutually-beneficial research collaborations. We have a particularly strong legacy of collaborative research with community groups, as well as commissioned and consultancy-based work for professional bodies and national and transnational institutions.
Researchers who have collaborated with us are invited to become Associate Members of the centre. You can see a list on our Who we are page. If you would like to apply to be an Associate Member, please see our blog page on associate membership of the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender.
