TPATH in November

Thanks again for checking out the November edition of our newsletter! This month we feature 2 publications, 14 resources, and 10 active research projects! We also share 5 academic jobs, 8 postdocs, and 3 non-academic jobs, as well as calls for papers, scholarships, and grants.

Thanks to member River Zwickl for sending this summary of the recent Emerging Trans Researcher Conference:

On 14^th October, the Trans Health Research Group (University of Melbourne) and the Australian Consortium for Trans Youth and Children co-hosted the second Emerging Trans Researchers Conference. With an all-trans organising committee, 20+ trans and gender diverse student and early-career presenters from across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and 200+ attendees, the conference spotlighted an incredible emerging trans health workforce. This trans-led initiative emerged in response to a lack of accessible, trans-affirming academic opportunities. As a free online event, the conference aims to combat financial, geographical and other accessibility barriers and provide trans-affirming capacity-building and connection opportunities for trans students and early-career researchers. The response to the conference has been incredibly positive.

"[The Emerging Trans Researchers Conference was a] truly excellent conference - absolutely inspiring to attend, with such a beautiful range of topics and approaches”, said one attendee. Another attendee stated, "This is exactly what we need... I wish it went for longer, would love more time to listen and learn."

As a reminder, we distribute the full newsletter to TPATH members only (you may need to log in to see below the cut off), though all subscribers will see a short synopsis of the newsletter contents and, of course, all news posts (which we also post on Bluesky). If you'd like to see the news posts one week early, and give us some vital financial support, you can do so using the subscribe button here.

If you are trans, non-binary, and/or intersex and involved professionally in trans healthcare (broadly defined) you can join TPATH (or check your membership) here.
