Joint writing time on Zoom and short research presentations
We meet on Zoom for joint writing time. We start by shortly introducing what we are currently working on and if we have any issues with our research that we want to discuss with the others. At the end we talk again shortly to summarize how our process is going and help each other with any issues that have been occurring.

Hi everybody!
If someone is interested to travel to northern Finland in May, I am organizing a workshop there about queerness and social work together with doctoral researcher Emilia Brusila. Welcome to submit abstracts before 15.3.2025! The language of the workshop is both Finnish and English. It is organized as part of the Social work research days in Rovaniemi 15.-16.5.2025, which gathers together social work researchers, students, and teachers in Finland. The general conference program will be mainly in Finnish, but also some keynotes and workshops in English and some workshops in Swedish.
Info about the conference: https://www.ulapland.fi/FI/Tapahtumia/Sosiaalityon-tutkimuksen-paivat-2025
And our workshop:
Queerness and vulnerability: Norms, rights, and social work possibilities
Workshop leaders:
Emilia Brusila, social work university teacher & PhD researcher, University of Lapland (emilia.brusila(a)ulapland.fi)
Inka Söderström, social work university teacher, University of Helsinki (inka.soderstrom(a)helsinki.fi)
Working group language: Finnish, English
The diversity of sexuality, gender, and relationships affects all people, but societal norms often limit how these identities and relationships are recognized and valued. Norms around sexuality, gender and relationships can place individuals, families and communities who differ from these norms in a vulnerable position, with multiple social consequences. This diversity is often referred to as LGBTQIA+ identities, queerness, or sexual, gender and relationship minorities. International social work research has identified that strengthening knowledge and skills to improve the situation of LGBTQIA+ people is a key issue. Studies have addressed issues such as the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people in social services, the everyday lives of queer families, the challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ youth in child protection, and the wounding effects of normative mindsets such as hetero-, cis and mono-normativity. In Finland, research, education and professional debate on these topics are still limited, which undermines the capacity of social workers to respond to the needs of queer people and to promote human rights-based work. Without comprehensive research, the specific service needs of LGBTQIA+ service users and the processes that place them in vulnerable positions cannot be adequately identified.
In recent years, Finnish LGBTQIA+ social work research has begun to grow, but the need for knowledge sharing and networking remains significant. This workshop provides a platform for increasing the visibility of research and practice in the field of LGBTQIA+ social work. The workshop invites researchers, students, practitioners, NGO actors and experts-by-experience to share knowledge and discuss the links between queerness and social work.
The workshop welcomes submissions on topics such as:
* The experiences of LGBTQIA+ service users and professionals in social services
* Norm-critical social work
* Specific issues related to queer families and youth
* The diversity of gender and sexuality in social work education
* Creative approaches to LGBTQIA+ social work
The workshop encourages a variety of forms of participation: presentations of research results, descriptions of research in progress, contributions from experts-by-experience or creative presentations such as performances. The presentations can be in Finnish or English and the discussion will take place in the language of the presentation.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for everyone's engagement during our two days of network meeting! A lot of very good ideas for the future came out of our discussions and I will try to summarize them below:
First of all: we have funding for the two coming years, from the Nordic LGBTI Fund (the Nordic Research Council)! https://nikk.no/en/fundproject/the-nordic-network-for-lgbti-research-on-hea… This includes money for keynotes, conference facilities for meetings (one per year) and for some time for me to work as a coordinator. Unfortunately there is no funding for travel or accommodation for participants, but I have applied for funding from Forte and Nordic Gender Fund as well - so hopefully this can be covered also for future meetings.
For coming network meetings we discussed several possible themes that we want to delve into:
* Methodology - 1. Labels/categories/terms, 2. Positionality (insider/outsider etc.'), 3. Who the research is for and by, participatory research (Would queer methods be something we can focus on for future program applications and project plans?)
* Pedagogy - dilemmas of teaching LGBTQ+ "knowledge", lack of courses, more diverse student group - challenges
* Disciplinary issues - meet up in disciplinary as well as multi-disciplinary groups for support and strategies
* Early researchers' perspectives - focus on applications, articles, mentoring
* Discussing conference ideas for 2027? - coordinating with history conferences (2025, 2026) and the trans conference (2026-27)
* Keynote suggestions: Sari Van Anders. We have quite a lot of money for keynotes, so please suggest your dream keynote to me!
Other plans:
* Zoom meetings for ideas/pitches, discussing texts, presenting results
* Arranging a workshop about LGBTQ+ research applications with PI's from the Forte special call
* Edited volumes in Social Work and Education were discussed
* Conference working groups were discussed for the Nordic Social Work Conference and NERA, the Nordic Educational Research Association, conference
We have a coordinating group: Amanda Klysing, Mats Christiansen, Ylva Odenbring, Madeleine Kirsch Eriksson, Emilia Brusila
Thank you all for joining! It would be great to also have someone from Norway and Denmark.
Attached is a Menti cloud that summarize why people at the meeting wanted to participate and their wishes for the network - a very good inspiration for the future! We concluded that the social and community aspects of these types of meetings should not be underestimated, and we will continue to prioritize those.
I will get back to you with some plans for Zoom meetings in the spring. Please let me know if you want to be a part of the coordinating group, or arrange something for the network (maybe together with me) that you feel passionate about.
Warm regards and hopes for a restful holiday ahead,
Catrine

Hi everyone, and thank you for lovely and inspiring days in Malmö!
For those of you who couldn't make it - I will send out a summary of our discussions and future plans within the network shortly!
One thing I only mentioned to a few of you is that we have an job ad out for a "biträdande lektorat" here with us in social work focused on sexuality studies. This is the link: https://web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/1015/job?site=6&lang=SE&validator=df9f…
This is a kind of assistant lectorship, but with 50% research, and good chance for tenure afterwards. I hope some of you are interested, or can send it to other people who might be interested. It would be great to build a stronger group of LGBTQ+ researchers here in Malmö!
Please use this list to send out other ideas and suggestions, or publications, so we keep in touch!
Best,
Catrine

Ämne: The Italian Government wants to silence gender and queer studies in academia - Open letter to the Italian Ministry of Research

Dear COST colleagues,
I attach an open letter we have written to the Italian ministry of Research face to new, particularly violent attacks that in a few days have targeted research on trans youth in Rome, a researcher teaching a Queer studies course in Sassari, and a colleague organizing a seminar on LGBTQ+ topic in Bari. Several attacks from members of the current government and "prolife" networks impact junior researchers, which is particularly upsetting. They basically propose to set "limits" to this research area, saying it encourages pedophilia and disrupts family values.
You can have a look at the letter translated in English in the attached document, and it would be of great value if you could also sign and spread the public petition (in Itallian), here: https://chng.it/wVfpGg9ZJq. The support of the international research community is particularly important in this moment.

Hi everyone!
We have almost 40 people registered for the network meeting in December, and have received additional funding from the Centre for Sexology and Sexuality Studies at Malmö University, which covers everyone's travels and accommodation. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Attached is the programme for December 10-11. There will most certainly be some changes before then, but this is to get an overview over the plans.
For those of you registered for the meeting - you should have received instructions for booking travels - otherwise let me know!
Just to let you know - applications for further network funding have been submitted to LGBTQI-fond at NIKK and Forte - so hopefully we have many future network meetings to look forward to. Thank you to Zara Saeidzadeh, Tone Hellesund and Mons Bissenbakker for help with the applications!
Best,
Catrine
