This Special Edition on LGBTQIA+ Topics in Health, Wellbeing, and Education seeks to bring together an assemblage of voices from social science, education, health, and physical activity to address LGBTQIA+ topics in their respective research areas. Health, wellbeing, and education are inclusive of a variety of fields such as sociology of health, education, gender studies, queer studies, sport and physical cultural studies, health education, physical education, as well as psychology. By bringing together various disciplines, we aim to provide a collection of papers that produce diverse perspectives, tensions, and augmentations in furthering dialogue around LGBTQIA+ issues in health, wellbeing, and education.
