Dr Kit Heyam (they/he) is an award-nominated writer, historian, heritage practitioner and educator.

Kit is available to discuss work in any of these areas:

  • Heritage consultancy: develop your representation of LGBTQ+ histories or identities, as well as participatory heritage workshops, tours or curatorial work 
  • Heritage activities: organise a walking tour of hidden queer history in Leeds or York, or a creative queer workshop for your museum, gallery or community group
  • Talks: hire me to bring queer history to life for your workplace or organisation
  • Sensitivity reading: ensure your book represents queer and trans people accurately, respectfully and ethically
  • Writing: commission me to write about queer history or contemporary trans rights, or to take a leadership or advisory role in turning your academic research into engaging writing for the public
  • Media: interviews or comment on trans/queer history and trans rights
  • Academic research and teaching: find out more about my research interests and teaching experience, and get in touch if you’d like to talk further
