Queer and the Cost of Living Crisis : Illustrated Summary

The Queer and the Cost of Living Crisis Seminar Series ran across 2024-2025, funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh as part of the Queer Social Justice project.1 The Series included a variety of topics, speakers and attendees across seven seminars, with presentations from journalists, cross-party politicians, LGBTQ+ organisations, creative practitioners, academics from across disciplines, and LGBTQ+ students in higher education. This summary report considers what we’ve learned from these voices and experiences, and to share where we are coming from, in order to think about ways forward through ‘crisis times’.
