XYX Lab

XYX Lab is a team of experienced design researchers exploring gender-sensitive design practices and theory. Our work operates at the intersection of gender, identity, urban space and advocacy. Through our research, we bring together planners, policymakers, local government and stakeholders to make tangible the experiences of underrepresented communities in urban space and planning. XYX Lab is grounded in feminist and queer theory and activated through real-world projects.

XYX Lab is led by Founding Director Associate Professor Nicole Kalms and Co-Director Associate Professor Gene Bawden. The research team is comprised of Dr Jess Berry, Timothy Moore, 
Dr Gill Matthewson, Isabella Webb, Anwyn Hocking and Xavier Ho.
