The organisers would like to invite papers on theory, methods and applied research, including work in progress, of relevance to the seminar theme as well as papers detailing development projects, campaigns and other aspects of practice relating to the LGBT communities.

Presentations which address the Scottish context in some respect are particularly welcome. This is the last seminar in the series and will include input from the Scottish Government regarding their recent response to the Hearts and Minds Agenda Group recommendations.

The day will also include a parallel session on LGBT ageing and later life
(see below).

This seminar will be held 28 May 2010.

Themes may include:

• Innovative approaches to researching everyday living and experiences
• Intimate and family relationships and networks
• The relation of academia, policy and practice to the day-to-day issues faced by LGBT groups and individuals
• Formal and informal networks of support, help and care within LGBT communities
