The aim of this panel discussion workshop is to increase the confidence of a new generation of researchers to ask questions about sex, gender and sexuality in appropriate, meaningful ways.

The UNSW Community of Practice in Inclusive Research with Queer, Trans and Intersex people (CoPQTI) is a new initiative developed by a group of UNSW academics who model inclusive research design and practice with gender and sexuality diverse communities. Despite the proliferation of the language of inclusivity in various research domains, there is no 'one-size fits all' model that can conceivably respond to its varied, complex and intersectional aspects. Aligning with the conference theme of 'Empowerment, Relationships and Intimacy', this interactive workshop has been organised by the CoP to introduce attendees to the general principles underpinning inclusive research, and the importance of asking questions around sex, gender, and sexuality in culturally safe and sensitive ways.

This event showcases the voices of Higher Degree Research students at UNSW, drawing on an array of diverse forms of lived experience, community engagement, and professional and research expertise. Discussion will include the value of co-design with affected communities, peer collaboration and partnerships, advisory groups as mechanisms for challenging researcher assumptions and approaches, and the ethical, practical and cultural nuances that need to be addressed through these processes.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions that they have for panellists ahead of time by using the registration function.

This event is supported by the Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion (EDI).

Background on new Community of Practice

The newly formed UNSW Community of Practice for Inclusive Research with Queer, Trans and Intersex people (CoPQTI) comprises UNSW academic and professional staff and research students, both LGBTIQ+ and allies, who hold particular expertise and interests in making research and other engagement and collaboration practices with queer, trans and intersex people more inclusive.

The continued explicit or implicit exclusion of queer, trans, and intersex people from public, social, and cultural life has long-reaching implications. This exclusion often starts with the language used in research and associated practice. Despite the proliferation of inclusive language guides in various domains, there is no 'one size fits all' model that can meaningfully respond to the varied, complex and intersectional aspects of inclusivity. As such, language change needs to be accompanied by effective research practice. Recognising these challenges, the CoPQTI was founded by a group of UNSW academic staff (names below), with support from the Division of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, to establish a program of activities to build connections and capacity in this area across the university.



Aims

The CoPQTI aims to generate and support enhanced capacity in sector-leading inclusive practice with queer, trans, and intersex people to:

*         advise researchers from across UNSW and beyond on the implementation of the national standards;

*         provide HDR and staff training on inclusive research practice across a range of policy areas, such as public health, medicine, law, and social sciences;

*         develop an interdisciplinary research cluster to investigate the considerable impact inclusive research will have on future research findings and public policy development; and

*         serve as a central platform to generate interdisciplinary consideration of complex requests for advice from UNSW and beyond.
