Researching the Rainbow
STAND-OUT ACADEMIA
Queerness is a field widely researched and discussed. We’re here to strongly support inclusive LGBTQ+ research and claim our space across academia.
What is Researching the Rainbow?
Are you conducting academic research? National Student Pride is here to support you.
Submit a 300-word abstract of your research for a chance to present your work to a panel of academics at the National Student Pride Festival in February.
If selected, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your research and gain valuable feedback from experts in the field.
