Global Pride Project

Advancing global research on sexuality, gender, culture and longevity across generations, cultures, and societies.

Global Pride is a worldwide collaboration of more than 50 collaborators advancing research on sexual and gender diverse communities across differing cultural and social contexts, investigating health and well-being across the generations. Bringing together scholars and students from six continents, the project explores how sexuality, gender, aging, and well-being interact across diverse societies. Launched with the Aging with Pride® preconference at the World Congress in 2017 this project resulted in landmark double-issue publication. In 2022, this collaborative project launched a global survey, and a special issue is currently under development and will feature 15 studies across six world regions offering new insights into longevity, perseverance, and health in sexual and gender diverse communities worldwide.

Through this project, we:

  • Examine how cultural and social contexts shape the health and aging of LGBTQ+ communities across the globe.
  • Investigate resilience, disparities, and pathways to flourishing across countries and generations.
  • Strengthen international and interdisciplinary partnerships that support justice, belonging, and social inclusion through practice, policy and research.

Global Pride continues to expand its reach, building a global movement of knowledge and practice to advance the well-being for sexual and gender diverse people worldwide.

New special issue, In press, Global Pride Study, The Journal of Sexuality Research and Social Policy.

By drawing upon international, interdisciplinary experts, this special issue addresses the unique cultural influences, dimensions, and dynamic nature of conducting research with LGBT older adults and presents cutting-edge findings, conceptual frameworks, and practices, as well as a nuanced perspective on the strengths and challenges facing LGBT older adults in countries around the world.

We highlight the lessons learned across the varied international landscape from 6 continents, spanning 10 different countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Israel, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States as well as HIV across the globe. These special issues were edited by Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen and Brian de Vries.

Global Pride Network

We have developed an international network of scholars and researchers to share knowledge and experiences and collaborate in studying sexuality, gender, health (holistically), age, and longevity, as well as the impact of COVID-19 across diverse global communities.
