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.

Queer Liberation Theory: Resurrection and Development

Summary:

A community-based research study with social justice group Queer Ontario involving academics, activists and artists, exploring the principles and tenets of the gay liberation movement of the late 1960s/70s and their utility today. With further funding this project has been internationalized looking at the historical gay liberation movements of Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as queer mobilizations in non-Western regions of the world.

Description:

The study seeks to theorize a progressive, sex positive, radical approach drawing from gay liberation and using its ethos to bridge the complexity of today's LGBT movement towards the development of queer liberation theory. This will include content analysis of historical gay liberation movements in Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States and data gathering via questionnaires and interviews internationally.
