Taylor & Francis Celebrates Pride Month 2023

Taylor & Francis is excited to celebrate Pride Month in the month of June 2023. To celebrate Pride Month, we have conducted a series of interviews with researchers, scholars, PhD students, librarians, and writers to provide a platform for those in the academic and LGBTQIA+ community to share their stories and experiences as part of both communities. Each speaker shares insights into their own personal stories and histories, and where they hope the future of the LGBTQIA+ community is heading towards.

Watch all the videos to hear from scholars Abby Noland, Ace Lehner, Animesh Anand, Che Gossett, Suzanne Thornton and Thiago Bogossian. Thank you to all our interviewees for sharing their stories with us.

Explore LGBTQIA+ research from Taylor & Francis journals below. All articles will be available to read with free access until December 31, 2023.
