Description
Dr. Kamran Qureshi has led the development of the Intersex Database (ID), the world’s first open-access research database, dedicated to intersex representation in artistic media. Co-created with Dr. Iram Qureshi, Senior Lecturer at Ravensbourne University London, the project exemplifies both academics’ active commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) through academic scholarship and creative practice.
ID offers a unique and comprehensive repository of intersex-related narratives across film, television, theatre, literature, radio, and digital media. Launched via a modern and accessible platform at https://intersexdatabase.com, the database supports the academic and creative work of researchers, filmmakers, and practitioners in Film, Television, and Media Studies, Gender and Intersex Studies, and a global audience seeking inclusive cultural knowledge.
Currently, ID features over 140 films, including feature-length titles, shorts, and documentaries, alongside other media such as talk shows, stage productions, and novels, spanning from 1932 to 2025. More than 70 entries are feature films in over 12 languages, including English, Chinese, Italian, Hindi, Urdu, Spanish, Japanese, French, Swedish, and Cantonese. In its second development phase, ID aims to broaden its scope to include scholarly journal articles, research reports, and books, as well as expanding its linguistic and cultural diversity. The Intersex Database is a continually growing resource, establishing itself as a vital tool for inclusive research and creative practice across disciplines.
