Participate in Research

One of the goals of the LGBTQ Parenting Connection is to encourage more research on LGBTQ parenting and families. We invite LGBTQ people to consider participating in research that may be of benefit to our communities.

The research projects listed on this site have been reviewed by the LGBTQ Parenting Network and we support the broad goals and objectives of these projects.

If you participate in a research study and you have concerns about the collection or use of the information you provided, we encourage you to contact the ethics review committee at the respective institution.

Please note: Being listed in this database does not imply any endorsement by or affiliation with the LGBTQ Parenting Network or Sherbourne Health Centre. Exclusion does not indicate disapproval. The principal investigators listed are responsible for the accuracy of their information. Researchers who post projects in this database do so because they are seeking LGBTQ people who will participate. 

If you have a research project you would like to submit, please review our procedures for listing calls for participants.

Regulating the Boundaries of Motherhood: A Study of Trans Women’s Experiences in Relationship to Motherhood

Are you a trans woman and a parent?

Do you identify as a mother, father, or another term? 

Are you interested in sharing your experience? 

Trans women who are parents of any kind (step-parents, adoptive parents, birth parents, parents of adult children, etc.) are invited to participate in this research study to explore trans women’s relationship to “motherhood”. You do not have to identify yourself as a “mother”, or be called a “mother” by your children, in order to participate.  All who identify on the trans woman spectrum are welcome, including those identifying as transitioned, two-spirited, gender queer, and more. 

  • Participation includes taking part in a 2 hour focus group in Toronto
  • Some participants may be invited to participate in one-on-one interviews
  • An honorarium and childcare will be provided
  • ASL interpretation will be provided upon request
  • A small travel subsidy may be available upon request, to assist participants from nearby Southern Ontario areas to attend the focus group in Toronto

 

Regulating the Boundaries of Motherhood is a project led by researchers who are members of LGBTQ parenting communities

This project is funded through the Centre for the Study of Gender, Social Inequities and Mental Health
