From the No Outsiders website (http://www.nooutsiders.sunderland.ac.uk/):
'No Outsiders' is a 28-month research project based in primary schools and
funded by The Economic and Social Research Council. The project is led by
Elizabeth Atkinson and Renée DePalma at the University of Sunderland, in
collaboration with researchers at the University of Exeter and the Institute
of Education (University of London) and a team of three research assistants.
During the course of the project, a team of primary teachers from three
areas of the UK will develop ideas and resources to address lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender equality in their own schools and their
communities. The outcomes will be disseminated via the Teacher Training
Resource Bank, a documentary film and an edited book of teaching ideas.
