On 12 October 2023, Marc Mason (BSc (Hons), MSc, MBACP, GMBPsS, Barrister, FHEA) joined us Online to share his insights, experiences and the product of his recent research of LGBT+ barristers in England and Wales.
He spoke about the power of survey research to build an understanding of minoritized experiences and the importance of asking questions about the relationship between sexual orientation, gender identity and working environment.
Marc joined Westminster Law School in 2013 following a period of practice as a Family Law Barrister specialising in child protection. He has studied both law and psychology at postgraduate level and has held research posts at UCL and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. He has worked on research projects funded by the Ministry of Justice, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Nuffield Foundation.
Marc is co-director of the Centre on the Legal Profession.
His current research looks at the relationship between lawyers and their clients through the lens of psychotherapy research. He is also currently looking at the experiences of LGBT+ barristers.
