Biography

Harvey Humphrey is an interdisciplinary creative sociological and cultural studies scholar with a background in co-production and creative methods. His work intersects trans studies and queer disability studies while focusing on marginalized and excluded communities. He draws from a range of creative methods to foster effective research relationships, believing that innovative approaches can help convey complex sociological narratives that are often difficult to articulate. As an Affiliated Researcher at the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Public Policy, Harvey specializes in health and social policy. He is a co-founder and current Co-Director of GLINTS: the Glasgow Lab for Intersex and Non-Binary Trans Studies, as well as a co-organizer of the Queer Disability Studies Network. His academic journey has also included work at the University of Northumbria and the University of Strathclyde, focusing on co-produced creative projects. Harvey is a published poet and engages in sociological poetry performances. His PhD awarded by the University of Glasgow examined the relationships among trans and intersex activists in Australia, Malta, and the UK through the lens of ethnodrama. He has received prestigious fellowships and grants including an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship and has extensive experience teaching qualitative methods across various universities. His research interests include the creative representation of identity, youth empowerment in social care settings, and the use of performative arts in academic research, making significant contributions to the body of knowledge in his fields of expertise.
