“…While a decade and a half ago, there was a lack of research and data on the status of queer Roma, queer Roma have been gaining visibility at an unprecedented pace. Although queer Roma have barely featured in research on Roma and/or LGBTIQ people, the ever-growing scholarship on queer Roma (Baker, 2003;Kurtić, 2013;Baker, 2015;Máté, 2015Máté, , 2022Corradi, 2017;Fremlova, 2017Fremlova, , 2019Fremlova, , 2021Eminson, 2021;Sartori, 2022) has demonstrated that the lives of queer Roma entail rich, multiple, intersectional experiences stemming from queer Roma's multi-faceted identities. Simultaneously, queer Roma experience intersectional discrimination, marginalisation and multiple objectifications from both non-Roma and Roma.…”

This article considers, in social semiotic terms, the visual self-representations created by lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ, thereafter queer) Romani visual activists and artists, and some of the processes used in the course of a transdisciplinary, collaborative research project. Undertaken in 2019, its aim was to investigate, through queer intersectional research-informed interventions, the potential of this semiotic material – photographic renditions of the lived experiences of queer Roma – to challenge dominant stereotypical misrepresentations and an overall lack of visibility of queer Roma. Another goal was to further enhance the impact and accessibility of the knowledge co-produced with and by the queer Romani visual activists and artists by giving a visual form to their lived experiences of antigypsyism intersecting with homophobia, transphobia, sexism and other forms of oppression. This approach to co-producing knowledge enabled the queer Romani visual activists and artists not only to exercise control over the process of creating the visual self-representations, but also to spell out, in a visual form, the terms in which queer Roma wish to be represented.

The Risk and Resilience Explored [RaRE] Project (2010–2016) was a collaborative process involving a third sector agency, university partners and volunteers to better understand the risk and resilience factors associated with specific mental health issues among lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people. In this article, we discuss the project’s collaborative ethos, based on a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. We explain how the CBPR approach benefitted from including academic partners from the onset of the project, as well as from the direct and indirect engagement of community volunteers. We then explore some of our experience of third sector and academic partner collaboration in more depth, highlighting topic summaries salient to this partnership: support and continuity, upskilling of staff and volunteers for mutual benefit, accessible communication across sectors, and aligning priorities. We conclude by setting out recommendations based on our experience for those interested in developing similarly collaborative projects.

This article aims to highlight the impact of the Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts (PCSC) Act 2022 through the lens of historical UK anti-Romany & Traveller legislation on WASH inequalities. Of which, key aspects of 500 years of discriminatory legislation from the Tudor era to modern Britain contextualises the primary data collected in this study. Data for this study were collected via online surveys, hosted by the software Qualtrics, which were distributed by the method of snowball sampling through social media posts on the platform X, formerly Twitter, for the purpose of gathering qualitative and quantitative data regarding the experiences of discrimination relating to WASH access and the perceived impact of the PCSC Act. Respondents, of which there were 20 of predominantly ethnic Romany & Traveller backgrounds, alluded to a perceived relationship between discrimination and WASH access, and expressed concerns regarding the potential impact the PCSC Act will have upon decreasing WASH accessibility through further increasing the acceptability of anti-Romany & Traveller discrimination. Furthermore, it is concluded that the implementation of such a legislation and its culminative predecessors can be considered persecutive and a violation of the human rights to access water and sanitation.
