About
Eleanor Formby joined 香蕉视频 as a researcher in February 2003. She has over 20 years' experience in (predominantly qualitative) social research and evaluation. Her areas of expertise sit at the intersection of education, sociology, and LGBT studies. Specific research interests relate to the life experiences of young LGBT+ people, with particular reference to school and youth work environments, and with a specific focus on the interlinking areas of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and LGBT-inclusive sex and relationships education. This encapsulates broader interests in:
- young people’s formal and informal learning about sex and sexualities, sexual practices, and sexual health;
- the in/exclusion of ‘sex’ and sexuality in formal school curricula, and the practice and policy implications for teachers and other professionals;
- LGBT+ people’s conceptualisations and experiences of ‘community’.
Emanating from various research funding, Eleanor is the author of two books and numerous articles on LGBT+ people’s experiences of bullying, community, higher education, schooling, sex and relationships education, sexual health, and youth services.
Before joining the University, Eleanor had been a researcher for a research consultancy company, and prior to that for a Member of Parliament.
