RSSH is an interdisciplinary practice- and community-oriented research group working in diverse areas including reproductive autonomy, HIV/AIDS, experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender (LGBT+) people, and pregnancy & childbirth. We have cross-cutting interest in stigma and inequalities, and we specialise in ‘co-’ methodologies (e.g. co-production, co-creation, co-design, participatory, creative and arts-based methods).
Our work is rooted in a shared conviction that reproduction, sexualities and health must be understood within the context of broader questions of social justice and inequality. We are committed to producing knowledge that challenges unhelpful binaries in sexual and reproductive health, and that prioritises lived experiences of different groups. This means that we consider reproduction and sexualities in terms not only of health, but also of the intimate, social, political and governmental possibilities and tensions afforded by reproductive and sexual health policies, practices and activisms.
