Research Invitation
New Foundations: Exploring Gender Identity and Gender Norms in Primary School

This study has been funded by the Irish Research Council and it is a partnership between the University of Limerick and the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland (TENI). This is the first study of its kind in Ireland and it will:
• explore the experiences of transgender and gender-diverse children (children who reject traditional gender norms) and their families in negotiating everyday school life in primary schools
• gain new insight into the experiences and approaches of primary school leaders and teachers in addressing the needs of transgender and gender-diverse students
For further information, please contact the Principal Investigator, Aoife Neary, Lecturer in Sociology of Education, School of Education, by email to aoife.neary@ul.ie or by phone to (086) 8647474. Read More....
