Report Launch (5-6:30pm)
This white paper, written by Assoc Prof Lucy Nicholas, Dr Shiva Chandra, Dr Benjamin Hanckel, Assoc Prof Jacqueline Ullman, and Assoc Prof Tania Ferfolja places WSU as a national leader for research into intersectionality and the inclusion of trans* and gender diversity in gender equity in workplaces. Written in consultation with researchers from across the university, and external stakeholders, it outlines the current limits and gaps in gender equity approaches, and how workplaces can address aspects of identity that intersect with gender or sexuality, and with genders and sexualities beyond binary (M/F) understandings.
