CfP: Nordic Network for LGBTQ+ Research on Health and Living Conditions Conference, 8–9.10.2026, Tampere University

by Valtteri Vähä-Savo (TAU)

TUNI Luottamuksellinen - Confidential (3Y) Dear all, the deadline for the Call for Papers is approaching, and it would be great if you could circulate the CfP on different email lists as a reminder. Also, let's not forget to submit our own papers 😄 Creating new spaces: Nordic Network for LGBTQ+ Research on Health and Living Conditions Conference, 8-9 October 2026, Tampere University We are happy to invite you to our network’s conference to be held at the Tampere University, Finland, on 8–9 October 2026. The conference invites us to think together about how we can create and sustain new spaces for collaboration, research ideas, theoretical development and public engagement. These spaces are grounded in the everyday lives, needs, and knowledge of LGBTQI+ people themselves. At a time when LGBTQI+ rights are under threat across the world and hard-won legal protections are being rolled back, the work is more urgent than ever. This urgency is felt acutely by trans and non-binary people, whose access to healthcare, legal recognition, and social belonging is increasingly contested and often in ways that affect people’s everyday life in multiple ways. Anti-gender movements have not only targeted LGBTQI+ communities from outside, but have actively worked to sow division within them, making solidarity and a commitment to the well-being of all community members a research and political necessity. Research communities can themselves be spaces of hope where knowledge is broadened collectively and connections are built and cultivated across borders and disciplines, but only when that knowledge is rooted in the lived realities and well-being of the communities we work with and within. This conference is an opportunity for both established and early-career researchers to share ideas, present their work, forge new partnerships, and collectively reflect on Nordic LGBTQI+ health and welfare research. We particularly welcome contributions that push beyond deficit frameworks toward research that takes seriously what thriving, care, and hope look like for gender and sexual minorities. The keynote on Thursday 8 October by Professor Annie Pullen Sansfaçon addresses the long-term well-being of trans and non-binary youth, including those who detransition, in the context of gender-affirming medical care. The keynote on Friday 9 October by Dr Michael Barron addresses how to support new and emerging activists, and how to stay connected to a sense of possibility, to queer optimism, even when conditions are hard. You can find more information on the keynote speakers here<https://events.tuni.fi/creatingnewspaces/speakers/>. The suggested papers may deal with – but are not limited to – topics such as: * Minority stress, resilience, and protective factors among LGBTQI+ people * Affirmative practice in psychiatry, psychology, social work or related field * Trans and non-binary health and welfare * Intersex research * Minority joy, trans joy and hope-providing care * Access to and experiences of gender-affirming healthcare * Older LGBTQI+ adults and care * HIV/AIDS: histories, ongoing impact, and community responses * Sexual and reproductive health and rights * Methodological and theoretical questions in LGBTQI+ health and welfare research * Research ethics and community accountability * Migration, mobility and demography The conference is free for all participants (dinner at the participants’ own expense). Info: You can find the preliminary program and abstract submission here at the conference website<https://events.tuni.fi/creatingnewspaces/>. Please submit your abstract (max 250 words) by 31 May 2026 by using the submission form<https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=r0Rp-nzM2EyRVMARMn…>. You will be notified of acceptance by 15 June 2026. We look forward to meeting you in Tampere! Warm regards, The Organizing Group and The Nordic Network for LGBTQ+ research on Health and Living Conditions<https://mau.se/en/research/research-centres/centre-for-sexology-and-sexuali…> The event is organized in collaboration with the Nordic Network for Trans Studies.

New publication on transgender parenthood in Sweden

by Ylva Moberg

Emma von Essen, J Lucas Tilley, and I have published the first study that uses population-wide data to document the share of transgender people who are parents, and their demographics. The article also contains a review of relevant legal and policy changes affecting transgender people's opportunities for parenthood since the 1970s. Read the study here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s41118-026-00285-4 Bullet point summary: - About 11% are parents, but the share varies with age, peaking at 41% for trans men aged 45–49 and 43% for trans women aged 50–64, about half the rates of cisgender peers. - Trans people have children at similar ages and with about the same earnings levels as cis people. - Trans men often start their transition before becoming parents. Trans women with children usually had them before the transition. - Since 1990, about 1200 children in Sweden have grown up with a parent who went through a medical gender transition. /Ylva _____________________________________________________________________ Ylva Moberg Researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University. ylvamoberg.com<https://ebox.su.se/owa/ylvamoberg.com>

New article about Finnish social work education

by Söderström, Ilo

Dear all, Our new article was just published. We have published from the same data before in Finnish, but this is the first publication in English. It tackles social work education from LGBTQI+ perspectives and social work students' attitudes and knowledge gaps in Finland: Clarke, K., Söderström, I., Sullivan, C. B., & Rossi, L. M. (2026). LGBTQI+ inclusion in Finnish social work education: reality or empty talk? Social Work Education, 1–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/02615479.2026.2639040 Abstract: This article explores how homogenising views of equality and the lack of academic research on LGBTQI+ issues in Finnish social work contributes to the invisibility of gender and sexuality topics in social work education. It discusses the Finnish historical context of LGBTQI+ legislation and the struggle for legal equality. The article considers Finnish social work research on LGBTQI+ issues highlighting the shortcomings of social work practice knowledge with these communities. Through a multidimensional survey of master’s-level social work students across five Finnish universities, the study explores students’ attitudes, knowledge, and perceived readiness to work with LGBTQI+ service users. The findings show that students report positive attitudes toward LGBTQI+ people, but they also indicate significant gaps in knowledge, especially regarding structural discrimination and the specific needs of gender and sexual minorities. These gaps were more pronounced among heterosexual students, suggesting that personal identity may play a greater role than formal education in shaping awareness of LGBTQI+ issues. The findings of the limited survey imply the need for more explicit inclusion of LGBTQI+ perspectives in social work curricula, which require further research and pedagogical strategies that promote critical reflection, intersectional analysis, and LGBTQI+ affirmative practice.

Installing APK file on PC

by theryanmitchell10＠gmail.com

APK files are Android application packages that are originally designed to run on Android devices, but they can also be installed and used on a PC with the help of special tools. Since Windows does not support APK files natively, users need an intermediary platform such as an Android emulator or a subsystem environment to run them properly. This makes it possible to enjoy mobile applications and games on a larger screen with improved performance and easier control using a keyboard and mouse. One of the most common ways to install APK files on a PC is by using an Android emulator such as BlueStacks, LDPlayer, or NoxPlayer. These emulators create a virtual Android environment inside your computer, allowing you to run mobile applications just like you would on a smartphone. After installing the emulator, download it from https://royaldreamapks.com you can simply drag and drop the APK file into it or use the built-in installation option to run the app. Once installed, the application appears inside the emulator, ready to use. Another method is available for Windows 11 users through the Windows Subsystem for Android. This feature allows Android applications to run more natively within the Windows environment. In this case, users may need to enable developer mode and use tools like ADB commands to install APK files manually. Although this method is more advanced, it offers better integration and performance compared to traditional emulators. In some limited cases, lightweight APK files can be run through browser-based tools or extensions, but this approach is outdated and not suitable for most modern applications. It is also important to understand that not every APK file will work perfectly on a PC because some apps depend on mobile-specific hardware features like GPS, sensors, or Google Play Services. Overall, installing APK files on a PC is a practical way to access mobile apps on a desktop environment. With the right tools, users can easily run Android applications for gaming, testing, or general use while enjoying the benefits of a larger screen and better system performance.
