Honored to receive a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for my project QPATHS: Queer Pathways to Parenthood!
With QPATHS, I will spend the next five years exploring how sexual minorities build their families, the barriers they face, and the support systems that help them achieve their family goals. Despite growing acceptance and expanded legal rights for sexual minorities, major inequalities remain in the path to parenthood. By combining unique population-level data from five countries with the first large-scale longitudinal survey of its kind, QPATHS will deliver a groundbreaking framework for understanding family formation among sexual minorities — research that is especially urgent in a time of shifting realities for LGBTQ+ rights. More information will soon be published here.
I am deeply grateful to the ERC for this incredible opportunity, and want to thank all colleagues, family, friends, and supporters who have contributed along the way — this would not have been possible without you.
I’m thrilled to start this next chapter in my new role at NIDI (KNAW), and I look forward to collaborating with others who share a passion for family diversity, LGBTQ+ rights, and inclusive demographic science.
