Diversity in Research Podcast
Pride Month Special: Professor Sandy O’Sullivan on being an aboriginal, transgender/non-binary researcher.
Being queer is many different things, and we try to remember that our experience as white cis-gendered gay men in the UK and Denmark is not representative. We have long talked about inviting Professor Sandy O’Sullivan on the podcast, and what better occasion than Pride Month?
Sandy is a Wiradjuri (Aboriginal), transgender/non-binary person, and a Professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies at Macquarie University, Australia and heavily involved in the Centre for Global Indigenous Futures.
We talked to them about anti-colonialism, queer studies, indigenous studies in a global perspective and the colonial project of gender. Sandy brought so many perspectives and layers to the conversation and certainly challenged us in how we see and understand the world.
Happy Pride Month.
The episode is produced and edited by Peter Xiong.
