LGBTQ+ Pride

Pride month not only gives the LGBTQ+ community the opportunity to celebrate, but it also gives them the opportunity to peacefully protest and raise awareness of any of the current issues they face. To support this, and to show commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG10: Reduced Inequalities and SDG5: Gender Equality, Springer Nature have collated an exclusive collection of the latest research from across disciplines and imprints related to LGBTQ+ issues. 

Here you can read articles and chapters from across 10 topics along with insightful blog posts from our guest contributors.

Reflections on Pride

We have reached out to some of our authors, editors, and researchers, asking them to reflect on the concept of 'Pride' and how they are helping in the ongoing fight for equity and inclusion.

Diversity and inclusion at Springer Nature

At Springer Nature, diversity and inclusion is at the core of how we work and who we are. Working towards a more inclusive and diverse workplace creates opportunities and allows our people to perform at their best. Our employee-networks focus on fostering dialogue around diversity, community building, advice and advocacy. They unite people who share an identity – like being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a person with a disability or a parent – with those who support them and who want to learn more about their perspectives and experiences.
