The University of Brighton's Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender (CTSG) focuses its interdisciplinary research on issues relating to sexuality, gender and social change. It brings together academic researchers at every stage of their careers, students at all stages of study plus guests and associates from beyond the university.
We are proudly interdisciplinary, with representation from across all schools of the university. Our members have expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies as well as participatory, visual and creative methodologies, and many share a commitment to feminist or queer theoretical approaches.
The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender promotes anti-racist and gender-inclusive research practice across all disciplines. Our work contributes to local, national, and global challenges around our three key research areas relating to sexuality and/or gender: LGBTQIA+ lives and communities; Health, care, and wellbeing; Gendered inequalities.
