About Academic Pride

Academic Pride is a collaboration between several of Stockholm’s higher education institutions and their associated student unions. This year, besides KI, the participants include KTH, Stockholm University, Södertörn University, and the Stockholm School of Economics. The purpose is to highlight the importance of LGBTQIA+ issues within these institutions, both in terms of research and education, as well as inclusive working and studying environments.

Seminar: Academic Pride: Transgender rights, demographics and access to care in Sweden from 1972 until today

The Academic Pride network is also organizing a seminar during Stockholm Pride week Wednesday 31 jul 11:00–11:45.

How has the situation for transgender people in Sweden changed, or remained the same, over the past 50 years? Come and hear what we have learned from current research and discuss how we can use this knowledge to promote transgender rights.
