New Foundations: School ‘Ethos’ and LGBT Sexualities
This one-day event is funded by the Irish Research Council and is in association with
the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Sexualities Special Interest Group.
It will be joint-hosted by Gender, Culture & Society @ UL in the Department of
Sociology and the Physical Education, Physical Activity and Youth Sport (PEPAYS)

This event will explore the concept of ‘ethos’ and its relationship with lesbian, gay,

together national and international researchers in LGBT Sexualities in Education,
representatives from religious organisations, NGOs, school management bodies,
unions, parents’ associations, key players in education policy and curriculum development

an opportunity for dialogue, the sharing of current research and ideas and the
development of links for future research and collaborations.
