About us

q°ÄÃÅÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼is a research network hosted by the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS).

qUCL builds on existing activities °ÄÃÅÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼ such as the staff LGBTQ network Out@UCL, while also establishing a more wide-ranging framework for the development of cross-disciplinary LGBTQ research, teaching and public engagement.

Why the name 'qUCL'?

The inaugural  event in December 2014 initiated a lively debate on a name for the network. Terminology is continually evolving and no word or phrase will perfectly describe all the work being done under headings such as LGBTQ. In light of these discussions, it was decided to call the network qUCL (pronounced 'queue C L'), where the q functions as a sliding signifier.
