Queering data introduces participants to issues surrounding the ways that sex, gender and sexuality are represented in UK data. The course focuses on the production of data via surveys, helping participants design survey questions in an inclusive, transparent and reflexive manner. It takes place over four half days (10th & 11th and 17th & 18th June), with each session on a specific theme. The first two sessions engage with critical theories surrounding how populations are categorised and counted and dives into the UK data context. The final two sessions provide participants with insights and tools for designing their own survey questions and engaging with data in an informed and reflexive manner. The recommendations provided in this course are based on a mixed method research project that directly engaged with people with relationships to sex, gender and sexuality overlooked in UK survey data. 


The course covers: 

  • Introduction to critical queer and feminist theories on data collection 
  • Introduction to the UK census and the controversies around them 
  • The pros and cons of data visibility for LGBTI+ people 
  • Being a reflexive data collector 
  • Being transparent data collector 
  • Ways to design sex, gender and sexuality survey questions based on research with overlooked populations
