Wild to have a chapter in a book Jackie Kay liked 🤩 Thank you @yvettetaylor.bsky.social for including me in this fantastic collection! My chapter presents Scotland’s 2022 census as world leading for LGBTQ+ representation while argueing this hasn’t translated to positive outcomes for us.

Was great getting to talk about my chapter in Queer in a Wee Place. I discuss how Scotland’s census is arguably world leading in terms of LGBTQ+ data representation but that doesn’t translate to positive outcomes for our community. Thank you to @yvettetaylor.bsky.social for putting this together!

Fab to be at the 'Feminist Research Methods' @sgsss.bsky.social workshop, complete with a little zine making! Great to meet new people and hear @strath-ioe.bsky.social colleagues. If you didn't get a chance this year, watch out for future activities!
Zine cover page titled 'Becoming Academic' with pink floral background and a sub-title of 'knowledge, power and alchemy' in black bold letters. There is a 'call for entries' in the top right corner. The following 3 zine pages are of blacked out text which tells the story, in part, of becoming academic.
