Abstract
#NewWSUnites: Reflections on institutionalising acceptance and diversity through Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade
Highlights
The institutionalisation of discrimination is often cited as a key factor in poor health and wellbeing outcomes for people identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ)
In addition to groups that function within universities to support the institutionalisation of diversity, a few of Australia’s universities participate in the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade
These groups include Ally Networks and Queer Collectives, committed to creating an inclusive and respectful culture at their university for LGBTIQ community members. In recognition of this prime opportunity to publically demonstrate the importance of diversity, Western Sydney University collaborated to prepare and deliver a float for the University’s first appearance in the Parade
