Through its research the centre members provide evidence-based recommendations to support the development of LGBTQ inclusion in education.

Research Interests
Kate is currently studying towards a doctorate exploring the role of social media in enabling transgender young people to reconstruct, negotiate and manage their embodied identities.
The research explores the ways in which YouTube is experienced as a 'safe space' for the exploration of trans* identities and the ways in which transgender young people's vlogs can be useful in understanding the diversity of trans* identities.
