Student news

I am a DPhil student in the Education Department at Oxford researching students’ LGBTQ+ experiences at English universities from the 1970s onwards. I have spent the past three years studying this and see great value in understanding and sharing queer histories. There are many reasons for this - a pertinent one is that recognising the existence of lives outside of cis- and heteronormativity in the past can remind us that we are not alone even when we continue to face adversity in different ways. Therefore, ‘LGBT+ History Month’ is an exciting time for me.

The journey so far

My story is not the most dramatic. I was born in the UK and grew up in a small town called Wickford in Essex. After completing my A-levels I was successful in obtaining a place at King’s College London to study towards an undergraduate BSc Biochemistry degree. 

In light of recent developments, including the Supreme Court ruling about the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act, the University of Oxford is carefully reviewing our policies and practices concerning transgender inclusion and equality. The University does this regularly to ensure they remain compliant with the law and reflect good practice.

2,928 students registered for individual counselling in 2023/24; 11.3% of the total student population (down from 12.4% in 2022/23). The leading reasons for students to seek counselling and psychological support were anxiety, depression & mood disorders, relationships and academic issues.
