Abstract

This paper presents a small-scale intervention in the social and educational environment of the School of Humanities and Social Science (HSS) at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The project - supported through funded LJMU Curriculum Enhancement Internships - aims to create space to discuss queer life, space and joy within the school's academic environment, critically consider challenges for queer students in Higher Education, and co-create materials to improve LGBTQIA+ inclusion and visibility. The Queer Communities project aimed to build on the wider work undertaken at LJMU, through EDI initiatives such as Understanding Pronouns videos (LJMU, 2022) and John Moores Students Union projects and societies by developing student-led and school specific spaces for developing LGBTQIA+ community and enhancing visibility.
