Current research projects include a study of the regulation of advocacy and political activity in Canada’s voluntary sector and its implications on charities and non-profits. Another study examines the recognition and legitimization of gender and sexually diverse populations in policy at the United Nations. Nick also writes about the LGBT movement applying a critical liberationist analytical perspective and is currently conducting research on the development of queer liberation theory.

At the School of Social Work he teaches core and elective courses that span theory, policy and practice at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Nick is also active at the community level as founder and chairperson of Queer Ontario. In the past he was a founding member of Amnesty International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Action Circle; founding board member for the Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition, active with the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario (CLGRO) for 20 years including director and spokesperson; founded and was chairperson of the Rainbow Health Network. He has been appointed co-chairperson of the Ontario LGBT Research & Policy Think Tank by Rainbow Health Ontario and founder of CLGRO’s successor Queer Ontario.

Current Research Projects

Party 'N Play - Long Play (PNPLP)

    Summary:

    This multi-modal research study examines men who engage in sex with other men (MSM) in Toronto and the use of methamphetamines in direct relation to sexplay, a practice known in North America as “PNP” (party and play). The project title acknowledges, on the one hand, the kinds of durational sex practices which often accompany meth use and, on the other, the vinyl long play record (or “LP”) which carries importance as a tool that accompanies sexual play.

    Description:

    PNPLP is materializing through three interventions that are intended to break the silence surrounding social-sexual meth use: written, video, and audio. Employed is sensory ethnographic research that explores the world of social-sexual pleasure seeking and experience that include meth use. Deployed is exploratory arts-based research regarding such spaces, inclusive of sound as part of data and outputs in relation to video, also known as A/r/tography, a qualitative method. This research is putting the following three methods to work:

    i) Content (queer sexuality studies space theories), field research (participant observation, participant comprehension).
    ii) Employing language, images, materials, situations, space and time via art, research, and education.
    iii) Semi-structured qualitative interviews.

2SLGBTQ+ Ontarians’ experiences with social assistance: Conducting preliminary research to nurture partnerships in the area of 2SLGBTQ+ poverty and health

    Summary:

    Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) people experience both health
    disparities and economic inequities relative to their heterosexual and cisgender (non-trans) peers.
    Although poverty is widely understood to be a critically important determinant of health, few studies
    have investigated the relationships between poverty and health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations, or the
    possible social and structural relationships that sustain these inequities. Our project will address this
    research gap, and in doing so will build an emerging multidisciplinary network, the Canadian Coalition
    Against 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty (CCA2P). The research team is led by representatives from 2SLGBTQ+
    community organizations and academic researchers from Canadian universities, and includes
    community advocates and research trainees. Project activities will aim to a) support coalition-building
    between academics, organizations and community members working on issues of 2SLGBTQ+ rights
    and poverty, working to build a national multisectoral partnership; b) collaborate on communitydriven
    research that examines 2SLGBTQ+ peoples’ experiences accessing social assistance in Ontario,
    a community-identified research priority; c) meaningfully engage 2SLGBTQ+ people who identify as
    having lived experience of poverty throughout research and coalition-building activities; and d)
    collaborate on a funding proposal, informed by our preliminary data, to support national research and
    partnership-building on this topic. By enabling a more fulsome understanding of 2SLGBTQ+ poverty
    from diverse stakeholders, these partnership activities ultimately aim to address the economic and
    associated health inequities currently experienced by 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada.

    Description:

    Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) populations in Canada experience
    significantly worse health outcomes, relative to heterosexual and cis (non-trans) populations (Bauer &
    Scheim, 2015; Brennan et al., 2010; Steele et al., 2009). Increasingly, scholars are recognizing that
    poverty (broadly defined using indicators such as the low income cut-off) is a cause of poor health in
    marginalized populations (Berkman et al., 2014), and scholars of 2SLGBTQ+ health note that
    socioeconomic factors contribute to poor health outcomes for sexual and gender minority people as
    well (Bostwick et al., 2014; Ross et al., 2016; Robinson 2017; Robinson et al., 2016). Despite
    agreement that the relationship between poverty and poor health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations is worth
    examining, few studies empirically substantiate this link, or reveal how it operates (Thomeer, 2015).

    Experiences with social assistance (SA) have been identified as a possible link between poverty and
    health in marginalized populations (Lightman et al., 2009; Smith-Carrier, 2017). In an Ontario study,
    SA recipients were more likely than non-SA recipients in all income categories to report high stress,
    along with 37 out of 39 poor health outcomes (Lightman et al., 2009). The authors suggest that
    adverse physical and mental health among SA recipients is due to the stress this population
    experiences in SA systems, which often stigmatize recipients and are under-resourced (Lightman et
    al., 2009). SA recipients marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender, race, disability,
    and other differences, may be more likely to experience stigma and discrimination and, by extension,
    stress and poor health outcomes, as a result of their encounters with SA systems (Smith-Carrier,
    2017).

    In spite of associations between poverty and poor health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations (Bauer &
    Scheim, 2015; Brennan et al., 2010; Steele et al., 2009), and the likely role of stressors associated with
    accessing SA (Lightman et al., 2009; Smith-Carrier, 2017), no studies of 2SLGBTQ+ populations’
    experiences with SA have been conducted. As a result of this research gap, the issues of 2SLGBTQ+
    people in poverty, and the concerns of sexual and gender minority SA recipients in particular, are
    often not considered in policy development and practice. Although not all 2SLGBTQ+ people living in
    poverty will access SA, this subset of our community may be particularly vulnerable to adverse health
    outcomes, given the stressors associated with poverty and accessing SA (Lightman et al., 2009).

    To address this gap, the coalition will:

    1. generate a preliminary evidence base by examining the experience of 2SLGBTQ+ people who access
    SA across the life course in Ontario;
    2. strengthen an emerging partnership among stakeholders currently addressing 2SLGBTQ+ poverty in
    Ontario and across Canada, and build new connections within this area;
    3. meaningfully engage 2SLGBTQ+ people who self-identify as having lived experience of poverty
    throughout the research and coalition-building activities; and
    4. collaborate on a funding proposal, informed by our preliminary data, to support future work
    exploring the impact of poverty (defined broadly) on the health of 2SLGBTQ+ people in Ontario, and
    in future stages of this work, Canada-wide.

    These objectives respond to community needs articulated at a foundational agenda-setting
    meeting of the Canadian Coalition Against 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty (CCA2P). CCA2P is a diverse and growing
    group of community, academic, and service provider stakeholders committed to highlighting, reducing, and eliminating economic disparities associated with sexual orientation, gender identity,
    and gender expression in Canada (Ross & Khanna for CCA2P, 2017). The proposed project would
    represent CCA2P’s first research activities in support of this commitment.

The political economy of precarious work: Stories of economic insecurity and work among sexual minority men

    Summary:

    The goal of this project is to build knowledge and understanding regarding the labour market experiences of sexual minorities experiencing economic insecurity. We are meeting this goal by asking “What are the stories of economic insecurity and work among sexual minorities?” TNG works to support those facing economic insecurity to find employment. Sexual minorities are overrepresented among those in poverty, face income inequities, and are discriminated against in the labour market, resulting in working conditions characterized by precarity. Previous research describes the economic disparities of sexual minorities and describes their experiences of discrimination in the workplace. However, to date, no research has been done on this topic, leading to a knowledge gap and a lack of best practices to support sexual minorities navigating the labour market. This project advances previous research by characterizing the labour market experiences of those employed by precarious working conditions. This project assists TNG to better understand the needs and experiences of the sexual minority populations they work with.

    Description:

    This project explores the labour market experiences of sexual minority men precariously employed in Toronto to better inform policy and social services that support employment outcomes. The project explores the pathways that lead to economic insecurity and precarious employment among sexual minority men and use men’s stories to propose and inform interventions, policies and programs that will create positive material change for this population. In Ontario, labour market disparities and workplace discrimination of marginalized groups continues despite legal protections around equitable hiring practices and workplace discrimination (e.g., The Employment Equity Act, Ontario Human Rights Act, OPS Inclusion and Diversity Blueprint, Fight for Labour Rights movements) (1,2). Employment and social services offered through The Neighbourhood Group (TNG) support a variety of populations experiencing vulnerability and marginalization. Sexual and gender minorities are overrepresented among those in positions requiring employment and social supports, though little research has characterized the employment supports needed and the life experiences that have resulted in sexual and gender minorities arriving at employment agencies. Due to the economic instability Ontario is currently facing, there is need now more than ever to support those who are unemployed, underemployed, or working in other precarious conditions.

Dark Tribe: Subaltern Gay Male Sex

    Summary:

    This study looks at male-to-male sexual activity in the subaltern world of male sexual spaces. The importance of such spaces is examined regarding opportunities, safety, etiquette, status, safer sex practices, negotiation and navigation of sexual expression through sexual activity and time-limited communal engagement for sexual pleasure and affirmation, and how all of this contrast normative societal expectations.

    Description:

    Through hard copy and online content analysis and observations in the subaltern world of gay male sexual spaces such as bathhouses, circuit clubs, sex clubs and dark rooms, examined is a self-monitored subculture that creates its own tribal rituals at various odds with societal norms. By deviating from and resisting such norms, this tribe demonstrates how it maintains a core drive of their liberated sexuality outside of mainstreamed sexual governance.

Dr. Nick Mulé’s research interests are in the areas of advocacy, social inclusion/exclusion of gender and sexually diverse populations (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, two-spirit, genderqueer, intersex, queer, questioning – LGBTQ) in social policy and service provision and the degree of recognition of these populations as distinct communities in cultural, systemic and structural contexts. He also engages in critical analysis of the LGBTQ movement and the development of queer liberation theory.

Current research projects include a study of the regulation of advocacy and political activity in Canada’s voluntary sector and its implications on charities and non-profits. Another study examines the recognition and legitimization of gender and sexually diverse populations in policy at the United Nations. Nick also writes about the LGBT movement applying a critical liberationist analytical perspective and is currently conducting research on the development of queer liberation theory.

At the School of Social Work he teaches core and elective courses that span theory, policy and practice at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Nick is also active at the community level as founder and chairperson of Queer Ontario. In the past he was a founding member of Amnesty International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Action Circle; founding board member for the Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition, active with the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario (CLGRO) for 20 years including director and spokesperson; founded and was chairperson of the Rainbow Health Network. He has been appointed co-chairperson of the Ontario LGBT Research & Policy Think Tank by Rainbow Health Ontario and founder of CLGRO’s successor Queer Ontario.

Current Research Projects

Party 'N Play - Long Play (PNPLP)

    Summary:

    This multi-modal research study examines men who engage in sex with other men (MSM) in Toronto and the use of methamphetamines in direct relation to sexplay, a practice known in North America as “PNP” (party and play). The project title acknowledges, on the one hand, the kinds of durational sex practices which often accompany meth use and, on the other, the vinyl long play record (or “LP”) which carries importance as a tool that accompanies sexual play.

    Description:

    PNPLP is materializing through three interventions that are intended to break the silence surrounding social-sexual meth use: written, video, and audio. Employed is sensory ethnographic research that explores the world of social-sexual pleasure seeking and experience that include meth use. Deployed is exploratory arts-based research regarding such spaces, inclusive of sound as part of data and outputs in relation to video, also known as A/r/tography, a qualitative method. This research is putting the following three methods to work:

    i) Content (queer sexuality studies space theories), field research (participant observation, participant comprehension).
    ii) Employing language, images, materials, situations, space and time via art, research, and education.
    iii) Semi-structured qualitative interviews.

2SLGBTQ+ Ontarians’ experiences with social assistance: Conducting preliminary research to nurture partnerships in the area of 2SLGBTQ+ poverty and health

    Summary:

    Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) people experience both health
    disparities and economic inequities relative to their heterosexual and cisgender (non-trans) peers.
    Although poverty is widely understood to be a critically important determinant of health, few studies
    have investigated the relationships between poverty and health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations, or the
    possible social and structural relationships that sustain these inequities. Our project will address this
    research gap, and in doing so will build an emerging multidisciplinary network, the Canadian Coalition
    Against 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty (CCA2P). The research team is led by representatives from 2SLGBTQ+
    community organizations and academic researchers from Canadian universities, and includes
    community advocates and research trainees. Project activities will aim to a) support coalition-building
    between academics, organizations and community members working on issues of 2SLGBTQ+ rights
    and poverty, working to build a national multisectoral partnership; b) collaborate on communitydriven
    research that examines 2SLGBTQ+ peoples’ experiences accessing social assistance in Ontario,
    a community-identified research priority; c) meaningfully engage 2SLGBTQ+ people who identify as
    having lived experience of poverty throughout research and coalition-building activities; and d)
    collaborate on a funding proposal, informed by our preliminary data, to support national research and
    partnership-building on this topic. By enabling a more fulsome understanding of 2SLGBTQ+ poverty
    from diverse stakeholders, these partnership activities ultimately aim to address the economic and
    associated health inequities currently experienced by 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada.

    Description:

    Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) populations in Canada experience
    significantly worse health outcomes, relative to heterosexual and cis (non-trans) populations (Bauer &
    Scheim, 2015; Brennan et al., 2010; Steele et al., 2009). Increasingly, scholars are recognizing that
    poverty (broadly defined using indicators such as the low income cut-off) is a cause of poor health in
    marginalized populations (Berkman et al., 2014), and scholars of 2SLGBTQ+ health note that
    socioeconomic factors contribute to poor health outcomes for sexual and gender minority people as
    well (Bostwick et al., 2014; Ross et al., 2016; Robinson 2017; Robinson et al., 2016). Despite
    agreement that the relationship between poverty and poor health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations is worth
    examining, few studies empirically substantiate this link, or reveal how it operates (Thomeer, 2015).

    Experiences with social assistance (SA) have been identified as a possible link between poverty and
    health in marginalized populations (Lightman et al., 2009; Smith-Carrier, 2017). In an Ontario study,
    SA recipients were more likely than non-SA recipients in all income categories to report high stress,
    along with 37 out of 39 poor health outcomes (Lightman et al., 2009). The authors suggest that
    adverse physical and mental health among SA recipients is due to the stress this population
    experiences in SA systems, which often stigmatize recipients and are under-resourced (Lightman et
    al., 2009). SA recipients marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender, race, disability,
    and other differences, may be more likely to experience stigma and discrimination and, by extension,
    stress and poor health outcomes, as a result of their encounters with SA systems (Smith-Carrier,
    2017).

    In spite of associations between poverty and poor health in 2SLGBTQ+ populations (Bauer &
    Scheim, 2015; Brennan et al., 2010; Steele et al., 2009), and the likely role of stressors associated with
    accessing SA (Lightman et al., 2009; Smith-Carrier, 2017), no studies of 2SLGBTQ+ populations’
    experiences with SA have been conducted. As a result of this research gap, the issues of 2SLGBTQ+
    people in poverty, and the concerns of sexual and gender minority SA recipients in particular, are
    often not considered in policy development and practice. Although not all 2SLGBTQ+ people living in
    poverty will access SA, this subset of our community may be particularly vulnerable to adverse health
    outcomes, given the stressors associated with poverty and accessing SA (Lightman et al., 2009).

    To address this gap, the coalition will:

    1. generate a preliminary evidence base by examining the experience of 2SLGBTQ+ people who access
    SA across the life course in Ontario;
    2. strengthen an emerging partnership among stakeholders currently addressing 2SLGBTQ+ poverty in
    Ontario and across Canada, and build new connections within this area;
    3. meaningfully engage 2SLGBTQ+ people who self-identify as having lived experience of poverty
    throughout the research and coalition-building activities; and
    4. collaborate on a funding proposal, informed by our preliminary data, to support future work
    exploring the impact of poverty (defined broadly) on the health of 2SLGBTQ+ people in Ontario, and
    in future stages of this work, Canada-wide.

    These objectives respond to community needs articulated at a foundational agenda-setting
    meeting of the Canadian Coalition Against 2SLGBTQ+ Poverty (CCA2P). CCA2P is a diverse and growing
    group of community, academic, and service provider stakeholders committed to highlighting, reducing, and eliminating economic disparities associated with sexual orientation, gender identity,
    and gender expression in Canada (Ross & Khanna for CCA2P, 2017). The proposed project would
    represent CCA2P’s first research activities in support of this commitment.

The political economy of precarious work: Stories of economic insecurity and work among sexual minority men

    Summary:

    The goal of this project is to build knowledge and understanding regarding the labour market experiences of sexual minorities experiencing economic insecurity. We are meeting this goal by asking “What are the stories of economic insecurity and work among sexual minorities?” TNG works to support those facing economic insecurity to find employment. Sexual minorities are overrepresented among those in poverty, face income inequities, and are discriminated against in the labour market, resulting in working conditions characterized by precarity. Previous research describes the economic disparities of sexual minorities and describes their experiences of discrimination in the workplace. However, to date, no research has been done on this topic, leading to a knowledge gap and a lack of best practices to support sexual minorities navigating the labour market. This project advances previous research by characterizing the labour market experiences of those employed by precarious working conditions. This project assists TNG to better understand the needs and experiences of the sexual minority populations they work with.

    Description:

    This project explores the labour market experiences of sexual minority men precariously employed in Toronto to better inform policy and social services that support employment outcomes. The project explores the pathways that lead to economic insecurity and precarious employment among sexual minority men and use men’s stories to propose and inform interventions, policies and programs that will create positive material change for this population. In Ontario, labour market disparities and workplace discrimination of marginalized groups continues despite legal protections around equitable hiring practices and workplace discrimination (e.g., The Employment Equity Act, Ontario Human Rights Act, OPS Inclusion and Diversity Blueprint, Fight for Labour Rights movements) (1,2). Employment and social services offered through The Neighbourhood Group (TNG) support a variety of populations experiencing vulnerability and marginalization. Sexual and gender minorities are overrepresented among those in positions requiring employment and social supports, though little research has characterized the employment supports needed and the life experiences that have resulted in sexual and gender minorities arriving at employment agencies. Due to the economic instability Ontario is currently facing, there is need now more than ever to support those who are unemployed, underemployed, or working in other precarious conditions.

Dark Tribe: Subaltern Gay Male Sex

    Summary:

    This study looks at male-to-male sexual activity in the subaltern world of male sexual spaces. The importance of such spaces is examined regarding opportunities, safety, etiquette, status, safer sex practices, negotiation and navigation of sexual expression through sexual activity and time-limited communal engagement for sexual pleasure and affirmation, and how all of this contrast normative societal expectations.

    Description:

    Through hard copy and online content analysis and observations in the subaltern world of gay male sexual spaces such as bathhouses, circuit clubs, sex clubs and dark rooms, examined is a self-monitored subculture that creates its own tribal rituals at various odds with societal norms. By deviating from and resisting such norms, this tribe demonstrates how it maintains a core drive of their liberated sexuality outside of mainstreamed sexual governance.

Envisioning Global LGBT Human Rights

    Summary:

    Envisioning Global LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Human Rights is an international research project that fosters links between Canada and the Global South and will document and analyze i) criminalization of LGBT people, ii) flight from violence and persecution, iii) resistance to criminalization, and iv) the interaction between International Treaty Body Human Rights Mechanisms and LGBT rights initiatives.

    Description:

    Envisioning will examine locations where challenges to criminalization of sexual minorities are underway and research and document the complex processes underlying these cultures of resistance. While criminalization is at the core of our study, the oppression that LGBT people face includes broader forms of stigmatization, hatred and marginalization. Envisioning will research and document conditions affecting LGBT people, working with grassroots human rights, HIV/AIDS and LGBT groups that work to advance the rights of sexual minorities. Envisioning brings together an international, interdisciplinary alliance of community partners, filmmakers, academic and community-based researchers and students to undertake a project of applied research, participatory video and documentary, skills exchange, capacity enhancement and knowledge mobilization.
