International Trans and Intersex Activist Relationships: Ethics, Ethnodrama and Representation

在与教授伊薇特·泰勒，在LGBTI [女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋，跨性别，双性人]研究和酷儿方法的领先学者，其工作包括国际LGBTI项目合作，该奖学金将开发活动和出版物，向不同的观众说话。该奖学金位于教育学院的斯特拉斯克莱德大学，这是一个国际领先的研究密集型机构，在平等，LGBTI生活和方法等领域具有重大的研究影响。此外，该奖学金将有助于在高等教育中为酷儿，跨性别和残疾学者创造空间的目标。这是一个更广泛的议程的一部分，作为酷儿，跨性别和残疾学者社区的一部分，致力于挑战跨性别恐惧症，同性恋恐惧症和残疾人主义，同时创建网络，形成一个学术界，活动家和盟友的社区意识。该奖学金将提出一个原始的民族剧（发挥）从参与者的采访与跨，双性人和LGBTI活动家在英国，马耳他和澳大利亚进行博士期间绘制。这些国家最近通过立法承认澳大利亚境内的跨性别和双性公民，（2013年《性别歧视修正案（性取向、性别认同和两性人地位）》）;马耳他2015年《性别认同、性别表达和性特征法》（Gender Identity Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics Act 2015）（2009年《犯罪（轻罪加重处罚）（苏格兰）法》）;以及联合王国（2004年《性别承认法》; 2010年《平等法》）。此外，马耳他和澳大利亚是最近两性平等共识声明的所在地：2013年的马耳他宣言和2017年的达林顿声明。这些地点仍然处于这些领域正在进行的立法改革的前沿。民族剧以一场虚构的立法协商为背景，讨论了参与者所经历的语言的表达和身份的协商。许多与会者最近参与了关于这些立法发展的协商，因此虚构的协商是从这些经验中得出的。民族剧的呈现方式使这些与语言和身份在法律中的地位有关的复杂思想以及活动家团体内的思想得到了广泛的讨论和传播。跨性别、双性人和LGBTI关系的重要性以及更广泛的政治和媒体关系背景是民族剧的核心特征，也是构建民族剧的论文的核心发现。英国和苏格兰正在进行的立法改革磋商，涉及《性别承认法》（2004年）和仇恨犯罪立法（2021年仇恨犯罪和公共秩序（苏格兰）法案），为观看从最近的数据收集（2016-2018年）中发展出来的这部民族剧提供了相关的当前背景。民族剧的演出将提供对持续的立法改革和公众辩论进行反思的可能性。这将对那些对社会法律改革感兴趣和投资的人和反改革者感兴趣。该奖学金将关注导航的道德影响和参与和超越LGBTI社区。使用民族剧作为参与者数据的虚构表示形式，通过复合字符来表达多个参与者的话语，以保持匿名性。这保护了参与者之间的持续关系。这允许讨论跨性别和双性活动家的关系，包括群体和组织冲突，而不损害这些关系。该奖学金将有助于正在进行的关于道德公众参与和参与者数据的道德陈述的对话，这些话题可能被认为是有争议的。创造性的方法，包括虚构和民族剧，可以允许道德参与有争议的术语和想法的方式将为出版物，培训和会谈提供背景。

In collaboration with Professor Yvette Taylor, a leading scholar in LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex] research and queer methods and whose work includes international LGBTI projects, this Fellowship will develop events and publications to speak to diverse audiences. This Fellowship is situated in the University of Strathclyde, an internationally leading research intensive institution, in the School of Education, with its significant research impact in areas covering equality, LGBTI lives, and methodologies. Additionally, the Fellowship will contribute to the aim of making space in higher education for queer, trans and disabled academics. This is part of a wider agenda as part of a community of queer, trans and disabled scholars committed to challenging transphobia, homophobia and ableism while creating networks to form a sense of community of academics, activists and allies. The Fellowship will present an original ethnodrama (play) drawn from participant interviews with trans, intersex and LGBTI activists in the UK, Malta and Australia conducted during the PhD. These countries are significant for their recent legislation recognising trans and intersex citizens within Australia (Sex Discrimination Amendment (Sexual Orientation Gender Identity and Intersex Status) 2013); Malta (Gender Identity Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics Act 2015); Scotland (Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Act 2009); and the UK (Gender Recognition Act 2004; Equality Act 2010). Furthermore, Malta and Australia were the locations of recent intersex equality consensus statements: the Malta Declaration, 2013, and the Darlington Statement, 2017. These locations remain at the forefront of ongoing legislative reform in these areas. The ethnodrama takes a fictitious legislative consultation as a context to discuss the contestation of language and the negotiation of identities experienced by participants. Many participants had recently engaged in consultations on these legislative developments so the fictional consultation is drawn from those experiences. The presentation of the ethnodrama allows for these complex ideas relating to the contestation of language and identities in law, as well as within activist groups, to be discussed and disseminated widely.The importance of trans, intersex and LGBTI relationships as well as the wider context of political and media relationships are central features of the ethnodrama and central findings of the thesis from which the ethnodrama is constructed. The ongoing consultations for legislative reform across the UK and Scotland in relation to the Gender Recognition Act (2004) and hate crime legislation (Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill 2021) provide a relevant current context to watch this ethnodrama developed from recent data collection (2016-2018). A performance of the ethnodrama will offer the potential for engaging reflection on continued legislative reform and public debate. This will be of interest to those interested and invested in social-legal reform and anti-reformers. The Fellowship will be concerned with navigating ethical impact and engagement with and beyond LGBTI communities. The use of ethnodrama as a form of fictionalised representation of participants' data was utilised to preserve anonymity through composite characters to voice the words of multiple participants. This protects participants' ongoing relationships with each other. This allowed for discussion of trans and intersex activist relationships including group and organisational conflicts without compromising these relationships. This Fellowship will contribute to ongoing conversations on ethical public engagement and ethical representations of participant data on topics that may be considered controversial. The ways in which creative methods, including fictionalisation and ethnodrama, can allow for ethical engagement with contested terms and ideas will provide a context for publications, training and talks.
