  • Indigiqueer health and well-being in so-called Australia: An anticolonial approach

    Open AccessCorrinne T Sullivan, Kim Spurway et al.ARTICLEHealth Sociology Review2026

    This commentary uses an anticolonial lens to critically evaluate the extant body of evidence on Indigenous LGBTQIASB+ peoples' health and wellbeing in so-called Australia. Scholarship in this field is relatively new; however, it has grown exponentially over the past five years across diverse disciplines including Criminology, Geography, Psychology, Medicine and Sociology. This commentary will summarise key emergent themes on health and wellbeing …

  • Absolutely it was not safe: Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ experiences of education in Australia

    Open AccessCorrinne T Sullivan, Duy Tran et al.ARTICLEThe Australian Journal of…2024References: 42

    Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ individuals occupy a unique intersection of identities that inform their lived experiences and the ways in which they navigate colonial settler educational institutions. Despite a considerable body of evidence demonstrating the importance of inclusion, educational policies in Australia remain outdated. These policies are frequently informed by a deficit approach that justifies the absence of Indigenous and gender/sexuality di…

  • The Dalarinji Project- “Your Story”: A Narrative Synthesis

    Open AccessCorrinne T Sullivan, Kim Spurway et al.ARTICLEJournal of global indigeneity2023

    This paper summarises the achievements of the Dalarinji (in Dharug, ‘Your Story’) research project. The aim of the project was to understand the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ peoples (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer, sistagirl, brothaboy) living in the place now known as New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

  • Indigenous LGBTIQSB + People’s Experiences of Family Violence in Australia

    Open AccessKaren Soldatic, Corrinne T Sullivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Violence2023Cited by: 1References: 2

    The findings of this study demonstrate the intersectional nature of family violence highlighting the fact that Indigenous LGBTIQSB + young people are integral parts of extended kinship networks, families and communities and are deeply impacted by any acts of family violence. The study's findings also support current research into family and community violence for LGBTIQ + people that shows the differential behaviours and actions of rural and urba…

  • Organisational fragility among urban FNOs in the era of New Public Management

    Open AccessD Howard-Wagner, Karen Soldatic et al.ARTICLEAustralian Journal of Social Issues2023References: 21

    While Australian governments generally acknowledge that First Nations organisations (FNOs) have better reach into First Nations communities than mainstream not‐for‐profit (NFP) organisations and governments, as we document in this paper, a survey of community‐controlled FNOs in significant urban areas in New South Wales (NSW) suggests that funding and administrative arrangements in the era of New Public Management (NPM) are at odds, and in some i…

  • This is our place, but we’re the outsiders’: The navigation of identity and spaces of belonging by Indigenous LGBTIQ + women in Australia

    Open AccessCorrinne T Sullivan, Duy Tran et al.ARTICLEAustralian Geographer2023References: 31

    A secure sense of identity and belonging plays a crucial role in social and emotional wellbeing. While there has been research that investigates the exclusion of Indigenous people from a broad range of the workings of society in Australia, such as social spaces and institutions, there exists limited literature that specifically focuses on Indigenous LGBTIQ + women’s experiences. Building on the limited research on Indigenous LGBTIQ + individuals’…

  • We never get a space to just have a good time together: Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ young people carving out alternative viable lives

    Open AccessKaren Soldatic, Corrinne T Sullivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth Studies2023Cited by: 2References: 2

    In this paper, we begin to explore the connections between Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ young people's intersecting identities and their everyday practices of constructing viable alternative lives in settler-colonial Australia. Drawing upon a series of in-depth narrative interviews and workshops with Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ young people that occurred across a four-year period (2019–2022), the paper discusses the core ways in which Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ young…

  • Mobility Tactics: Young LGBTIQ+ Indigenous Australians’ Belonging and Connectedness

    Open AccessCorrinne T Sullivan, Georgia Coe et al.ARTICLEJournal of global indigeneity2022

    By Corrinne T. Sullivan, Georgia Coe & 5 more. Drawing from qualitative interviews with LGBTIQ+ Indigenous youth, we explore concepts of belonging and connectedness and how these concepts relate to their identities and lived experiences of ‘community’

  • Social and emotional wellbeing of indigenous gender and sexuality diverse youth: Mapping the evidence

    Karen Soldatic, Linda Briskman et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2022

    There has been little exploration of the social and emotional wellbeing of young Indigenous populations who identify as gender and sexuality diverse. Given the vulnerability of this cohort in settler colonial societies such as Australia, Canada and the USA, wider investigation is called for in order to respond to their needs and aspirations. Using a scoping review, this paper maps existing research on the intersections of youth, gender and sexual…

  • I felt invisible”: First nations LGBTIQSB+ young people’s experiences with health service provision in Australia

    Open AccessKim Spurway, Corrinne T Sullivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2022Cited by: 5References: 4

    There is an absence of research into the effectiveness of service provision for First Nations LGBTIQSB+ young people in Australia. To address this gap, interviews were conducted in Australia to highlight young people’s perspectives on essential components of service provision. Participants expressed their concerns about the ongoing impact of implicit and explicit settler-colonial heteronormativity and racism on services providing support for youn…

  • Social Exclusion/Inclusion and Australian First Nations LGBTIQ+ Young People’s Wellbeing

    Open AccessKaren Soldatic, Linda Briskman et al.ARTICLESocial Inclusion2021Cited by: 4References: 7

    There is little known about the social, cultural and emotional wellbeing (SCEWB) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ young people in Australia. What research exists does not disaggregate young people’s experiences from those of their adult Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTIQ+ peers. The research that forms the basis for this article is one of the first conducted in Australia on this topic. The article uses information from i…
