What does it mean to do citizen science responsibly with a community that has been historically excluded and pathologised by the very institutions meant to serve it?
This talk draws on doctoral research examining trans people’s access to reproductive healthcare in Portugal after the 2018 Gender Self-Determination Law, which found that legal recognition alone has not dismantled the medico-legal barriers trans people still face.
Centred on Photovoice — an arts-based participatory method used alongside policy analysis and professional interviews — the session reflects on the ethical commitments, power dynamics and methodological choices involved in centring marginalised participants as legitimate knowledge-holders. It offers practical lessons for anyone designing citizen science with vulnerable or historically silenced communities.
