When we learned earlier this year about Kevin Guyan's book "Queer Data: Using Gender, Sex and Sexuality Data for Action" we knew we had to have him on the podcast.
We talk about what queer data is and what the queering of data is. The latter probably being less familiar to the listeners. And we talk about the pros and cons of queer data. Why it can actually be problematic for the queer community to have more data collected about them. We talk queer competencies and the central question: Who should be in the room?
Finally we talk about ethics, responsible research and the challenges of open science.
This is obviously a topic that is close to us personally. Still, we truly think that researchers, research managers, EDI consultants and other people involved in open science and science policy can learn much from this conversation.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
