3. Research Participants Needed for LGBTIQ Study
Would you like to participate in a research project concerning LGBTIQ, questioning and non-gender binary experiences of bullying and harassment in tertiary spaces. A new study is looking to interview undergraduate students at Monash as part of a pilot study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate who within the LGBTIQ student community experiences harassment and bullying in a tertiary setting; and determine what impacts this may have on LGBTIQ students’ access to supportive educational outcomes.
It is hoped that a greater understanding of LGBTIQ experiences of violence in university settings will allow further exploration into how such intolerance can be combatted to facilitate an increased understanding of the needs of LGBTIQ youth.
If you would like to participate by completing a questionnaire and a short one-on-one interview, contact Andrea Waling (andrea.waling@monash.edu) or James Roffee(James.Roffee@monash.edu).
