About the project
By sharing your experiences, you’ll contribute to important research into how identity affects areas like work, education, and healthcare. Your voice will shape how we understand identity, the power of language, and how organisations can better support diverse communities.
Who can participate?
We're looking for...
- People of all genders (and outside the gender binary)
- Who are 18+
- Who can read & write in English
To take part in a short, anonymous 30-minute online survey.
What's involved?
You’ll answer questions about how you describe your identity in scenarios like job interviews or social settings, and share some personal background info (age, gender, etc.).
Your responses will be anonymous, and the data will only be used for research purposes. No identifying information will be collected.
