Research

This research is an Australian Research Council funded project that aims to identify strategies to manage religious freedom and LGBT+ rights in the workplace. It focusses on government funded religiously affiliated workplaces.

Project

The project combines empirical social research about workplace experiences and managerial practices with legal and philosophical analysis.  The empirical research consists of two major national surveys, combined with long interviews with volunteer participants. 

Findings

The research is being run by researchers at the University of Tasmania in conjunction with the University of Sydney and University of Ottawa, Canada.
