Project Description
LGBTQI+_FUTURES is a funded large-scale three -year research project exploring LGBTQI+ youth wellbeing across Europe during a period of turbulence and crisis.
The team are looking for a Research Assistant to work primarily on the UK work-package, working under the support and mentorship of the Project Lead (Dr Eleanor Wilkinson) and UK postdoc (Dr Ames Clark), both based in Geography and Planning at the University of Sheffield.
The primary purpose of this role is to help facilitate youth workshops with LGBTQI+ youth across England and Wales (aged 18-24). The workshops seek to address the following two research questions:
- RQ1: What does ‘wellbeing’ mean to LGBTI+ youth across different European nations, and what do they feel are the current barriers to, and enablers of, good levels of wellbeing?
- RQ2: How do LGBTI+ youth imagine their individual and collective futures whilst growing up in times of crisis and uncertainty, and what are their visions for a future in which their wellbeing is enhanced?
