A very exciting new research spotlight has been uploaded to our website!! Written by @eldoespsyc.bsky.social the post explores how social perceptions shape who gets an endometriosis diagnosis. You can get a taste of Ellen’s research here leedspostgraduatereview.wordpress.com/ellen-frost-...

HOW SOCIAL PERCEPTIONS SHAPE WHO GETS AN ENDOMETRIOSIS DIAGNOSIS
Centring LGBTQ+ experiences of endometriosis: A critical mixed-methods analysis

What is endometriosis?
Imagine you are in chronic pain. You’ve been waiting around eight years for a diagnosis. Then, after years of your symptoms being normalised and not being believed by family, friends, colleagues, and healthcare professionals you finally receive a diagnosis, only to find the cause is unknown and there is no cure. That’s the reality for people with endometriosis.

What do you research?
My PhD is about trying to improve the understanding of factors that contribute to this delay in diagnosis, specifically for LGBTQ+ patients, using a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
My work aims to broaden who is involved in creating knowledge about the experiences of endometriosis diagnosis.

I wrote an essay for @leedspgreview.bsky.social! In it I argue that the endometriosis diagnostic delay is not solely a clinical issue but a product of gendered norms around pain, fertility, and who is considered as a 'normative' patient. leedspostgraduatereview.wordpress.com/ellen-frost-...

Had SUCH a nice day today at the @qmip.bsky.social #QMiP2025 conference. I spoke about how we need to actively resist some of the sloppy mandates for open research/science practices that are not (always) epistemologically compatible with qualitative methods. (And there was iced coffee and cake)

I hosted my first symposium - 'Identity, Pride, and Research; Centring LGBTQ+ Voices in STEM' !! The day had some great talks covering topics such as bi-invisibility, queerness in field research, why LGBTQ+ leadership matters, and intersections concerning autism and gender ambiguity...
