Trans, non-binary and genderqueer project

Seeking volunteers

I am a member of the LGBT+ community and an occupational therapist undertaking a PhD. I am seeking volunteers who define as trans, non-binary or genderqueer to collaborate in my study. The aim is to gain a better understanding of how the things that people do and the places that they visit, live and work in may help or hinder the expression of gender identity for those who are trans, non-binary or genderqueer.

It is intended that the insight gained into the importance and complexities of engaging in activities and places will help support those who define as trans, non-binary and genderqueer overcome barriers to activities and places which are important to them. It is hoped that the study will help inform ‘good practice’ within allied health care professions, especially occupational therapy.

Your participation will involve interviews with myself and documenting experiences that you chose to share in ways that feel authentic to you.

I would welcome any enquiries. Please feel free to contact me via the below contact details. Participants need to be over 18 years of age and confidentiality and anonymity will be ensured.
