You are warmly invited to the seminar 'Migration, Gender and Sexuality: Negotiating Health, Wellbeing and Belonging'. The seminar will be held on 16 June 2016 at the University of Glasgow - please see programme below for more details.
The aim of this seminar is to explore the intersections of gender, sexuality, migration and health and wellbeing. We see health and wellbeing as including experiences of physical and mental health, but also as related to wider understandings of security, belonging and rights. This seminar will feature presentations by researchers and practitioners who work in and around migration, health, sexuality and/or gender. Presenters will talk about their work on mixed panels, with the aim of sharing insights from research, practitioners’ and community work.
This is a SexGen Network seminar, organised by the Gender and Sexualities Forum with the support of GRAMNet, University of Glasgow; it is also part of the Refugee Festival Scotland 2016.
The seminar is free but ticketed, and places are limited. Please register at:
