Queer in the Field
This chapter explains the ethical, methodological and ontological difficulties of researching the meanings of lesbian identities ethnographically with a commitment to queering some of the scholastic conventions of ethnography. It draws on research concerned with the ways in which working-class lesbian and bisexual women experience and negotiate the meanings of their sexual identities on an individual everyday basis, and the ways identity categori…
Collaborative Sociological Practice
This paper examines the socially engaged art project Nine Urban Biotopes (9UB), an international exchange between European and South African cultural organisations. Two artist residencies offer case studies of collaborative arts and research practice. The ways that these case studies are read as ‘failures’ and ‘successes’ illustrate the complexities of North-South collaborations. This project, the partnership that sustained it and the residencies…
Trans youth, science and art
This article is based on empirical research which was undertaken as part of the Sci:dentity project funded by the Wellcome Trust.

This article focuses on four creative works…

Through focusing on the tensions that arose in this journey, this…
