Cultivating Intersex, Trans- and Gender-Diverse Inclusive Education in Healthcare. Feminist, Trans, and Queer Perspectives
An interdisciplinary conference to discuss the needs and concerns of intersex, trans and gender-diverse people in health settings and envision gender-affirmative education for healthcare professionals.
The Conference
The conference wants to delineate new educational paths to prepare medical, nursing, and midwifery students to deliver quality care to intersex, trans- and gender-diverse people.
Most of the attempts to deliver of gender affirmative education revolve around the development of modules focused on person-centered care. While these efforts are commendable and necessary, studies have highlighted the need to endow students with a critical perspective that takes into account the systematic oppression to which intersex, trans- and gender-diverse people are exposed.
This conference aims to encourage the creation of an interdisciplinary network, both within and beyond Ireland, that can support healthcare professionals in engaging with the conceptual and critical aspects of gender diversity in healthcare settings.
To accomplish this, the conference aims to bridge the gap between research carried out in feminist, trans, and queer studies and the delivery of a practice-focused and person-centered perspective that characterizes healthcare education.
