My name is Emily Gray and I am a PhD student at Lancaster University. I’m undertaking research exploring the experiences of LGBT teachers working within the British education system. Research in this sphere is crucial if we are to understand the ways in which LGBT lives are lived and negotiated in schools. I am looking for participants for the project who are currently working as teachers or have recently left teaching in the UK and who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgendered. Participants will be interviewed twice; each interview should take no longer than an hour. This project is likely to yield important policy and practice implications, so please share your experiences with me and contribute to this important project.  All interview data will be anonymised.

If you are willing to take part in my research or would like more information, please-mail me: gray.em@gmail.com. Alternatively you can write to me c/o my department at Lancaster:
