“…I purposefully only engage in research that is based on genuine love, to do no harm, and it is strongly rooted in the ethos and philosophy of academic advocacy within the LGBTIQA + space (Fig. 2) (Brömdal et al, 2019(Brömdal et al, , 2020(Brömdal et al, , 2021Deshman & Hannah-Moffat, 2015). This purpose is often in competition with the ever-stronger neoliberal forces and agenda of universities (Black & Garvis, 2018;Lee, 2014).…”

Publishing in the academy is a high-stakes activity often used to measure academic staff progress and inform promotion. Many universities have increased pressure on academics, even at the earliest stages of their careers, to publish in high-ranking journals resulting in increased stress and uncertainty. The authors of this paper are members of a writing group in an Australian regional university, established to support each other towards success in quality research and publishing. Over the 2020–2021 summer semester, six members of the group decided to reflect on their experiences, emotions and outcomes throughout the writing process by participating in four reflective arts-based activities. Theoretical frameworks of reflection and metaphor were used to share findings. Strong evidence of having to grapple with meeting university expectations in tension with personal goals and passions was ever-present. The importance of drawing on both personal resources and significant others to manage these tensions through self-care practices was also evident. Implications resulting from this research include recognising the pressures placed on academics to publish only in specifically ranked journals. Overall, the arts-based reflection was critical in uncovering deeper feelings about the pressures of publishing and supporting higher education employees’ well-being and self-care during the writing process.

“…While some HPE PSTs are familiar with the notion of 'sex test' or 'gender verification' and headlines surrounding athletes, few are familiar with: what intersex, hyperandrogenism, or differences of sex development entail (Brömdal & Davis, 2020). Similarly, few are aware of the validity of 'advantage' arguments; what these diverse eligibility regulations/tests involve; when, how and why these tests and policies around the body came about; or, who the authorities and authors of these corporeal tests have been, identifying women athletes with specific intersex variations as a cohort that needs to be policed in elite sports (see Brömdal. Olive & Walker, 2020;Brömdal & Rasmussen, 2022).…”

It is well-documented that schools fail to adequately engage with contemporary content about intersex awareness and education or inclusion of people with intersex variations. Where sexuality and relationships education are the remit of Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum in countries such as Australia, the learning area shows little obligation/responseability towards the needs of students with intersex variations. It also fails to pay nuanced attention to non-dominant issues, knowledge, or people with respects to sex, gender and sexuality. Similarly, the normative endosex nature/focus of HPE/PE/sport and related professional education bodies (e.g., in teaching and coaching) ignore the need for relevant and affirming content about intersex bodies. A recent project reported in this paper, created a collective narrative addressing how such HPE bodies of learning and teaching can advocate for and enact approaches that are inclusive, affirming, visible, and supportive in promoting and upholding the human rights and health needs of students with intersex variations. The research question driving the project was: What part can HPE bodies of learning and teaching play concerning intersex awareness and education? This original empirical research draws on the methodology and theory of narrative inquiry. The narrative was created between artefacts from a cohort of second year Australian pre-service HPE teacher education students in dialogue with teacher/researcher/expert/author bodies. The paper employs a recently developed Strategic Framework for intersex inclusion that promotes a positive whole-school approach, for educational institutions to be more inclusive, humane, safe, and educationally relevant for people with intersex variations. This framework assists critical reflection on project findings. We argue that such engagement, as illustrated in this project's scope, promotes a positive and diverse understanding about intersex in educational spaces, curriculum and pedagogies, guidelines, and policies, and ultimately reflect Australian Human Rights Commission recommendations and Australian anti-discrimination legislation.
