Evaluation of the effectiveness of outdoor field-based teaching in training allergy specialists to identify allergenic plants
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of outdoor field-based teaching in improving the ability of clinical medical postgraduates and visiting trainees to identify allergenic plants, and to provide evidence for optimizing standardized training curricula for allergy specialists. METHODS: A single-group pre- and post-test design was employed. A two-hour outdoor practical teaching session was conducted at the National Botanical Garden for clinical…
Proximity-Based Gay Apps, Context Collapse, and Queer Identity Negotiation
This study explores gay male academics’ experiences using proximity-based gay dating apps on Chinese university campuses. Drawing on interviews with 41 participants, it examines how “context collapse” – the merging of distinct audiences on social media – shapes queer visibility and student engagement in culturally and politically constrained environments. Participants manage their identity by deliberately avoiding app use on campus, curating prof…
Institutional Heteronormativity, Hegemonic Masculinity, and Soft Resistance
Drawing on semi-structured interview data, this article examines how gay academics in China negotiate academic workplaces suffused with institutional heteronormativity and restrictive gender norms. It highlights gay academics’ accounts of leadership and institutional practices, revealing how heteronormativity and hegemonic masculinity are institutionalised within higher education institutions. This study finds that Chinese higher education instit…

Queer migration, heteronormativity and the ‘ethnic closet’
Drawing on semi‐structured in‐depth interviews with 15 Chinese queer international students from New Zealand's tertiary institutions, this paper explores their motivations to pursue higher education transnationally and unpacks the interconnected power structures underpinning their experiences. We find that despite the imagination and initial perception of New Zealand as one of the most queer‐friendly higher education destinations, Chinese queer i…
We are celebrated but not included’
Using survey comments from organisations across various sectors in Aotearoa New Zealand, this qualitative study examines the workplace climate for Rainbow employees. It employs the theoretical frameworks of heteronormativity and cisnormativity to challenge established gender and sexual norms within organisations. The study explores how cis‐heteronormativity manifests at both organisational and interpersonal levels. Highlighting the limitations of…

Out queer teachers as role models for queer students? Implications drawn from closeted gay academics' experiences in China
Double closet, heteronormativity, and a gay academic living with HIV in China
This article explores how a gay academic living with HIV negotiated heteronormativity in a Chinese university. It presents the participant’s professional life in a double closet, where he adopted various strategies to cautiously conceal both his gay identity and HIV-positive status. Such experience is used to unpack the operation of heteronormativity on campus and extend the conceptual edges of how heteronormativity is conventionally deployed. Th…
‘Teach as an outsider’
Gay academics in China face multiple risks when addressing queer issues on heteronormative and repressive campuses. Little is known about their experiences of navigating the social and political constraints placed upon them. Drawing on interview data from 40 gay academics in China, this article explores participants’ strategies for addressing queer issues in the classroom. It is shown that a number of strategies were adopted by closeted participa…
Chinese academia wouldn’t be tolerant of my research’
Drawing on interviews with 40 Chinese gay academics, this paper reveals participants' concerns about conducting queer research in China. These include sexual-identity exposure, difficulty in publishing research and receiving funding, as well as marginalisation within university departments. Informed by Irvine's conceptualisation of sexuality research as dirty work, this research examines the operation of heteronormativity in the constitution of q…

Methods The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System database was searched for reported allergic reactions after the administration of any of the COVID-19 vaccines from December 2020 to June 2021. After data mapping, the demographic and clini…

Keeping a low profile and queering Chinese academia
During Xi Jinping’s presidency, the increasingly repressive political control over Chinese universities has had a significant impact on academic research. Yet, little is known about how Chinese academics navigate such a climate. Drawing on interviews with 11 gay academics in China, this article explores their motivations and strategies for conducting queer research. It is shown that participants submit to heteronormativity and the Party authoriti…
Heteronormative classrooms under surveillance
Gay academics in China are governed by both the repressive political climate and heteronormative culture on campus. This intersectional experience is still underexplored in the literature on queer teachers. Drawing on 40 gay academics’ interview narratives, this article focuses on their concerns about addressing queer issues in the classroom in Chinese universities. Heteronormativity is adopted as a theoretical concept to unpack the constitution …
