The conference, which forms part of the University’s LGBT History Month celebrations, is to showcase the vast array of excellent research being done on or related to LGBT+ people and issues, and to encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration and networking. The conference will be opened by University of Kent Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Karen Cox, who also acts at the University’s Executive Group LGBT+/Gender Champion.

Topics include transsexuality in mental health care and the legal system, queer representation in the media, and the decolonization of sexuality, from students and academics from a range of schools and disciplines, as well as external partners.
