Jaimie F Veale is a Canadian-New Zealand psychology academic, and as of 2021 is a senior lecturer at the University of Waikato.[1]

Academic career

Veale has a master's degree from Massey University, completed in 2005.[2] After a 2011 PhD titled Biological and psychosocial correlates of gender-variant and gender-typical identities also at Massey University,[3] Veale moved to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada for three years, before returning to New Zealand and the University of Waikato.[1]

In 2017, Veale was funded to research transgender health and "the first comprehensive research project into the health and wellbeing of trans and non-binary people in New Zealand".[4] [5] [6]

In 2019–2021, Veale and her work supported changes in the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill to make it easier for people to change the details on their birth certificates.[7] [8] [9]

In 2021, Veale gave a Radio New Zealand interview about the anti-trans backlash to weightlifter Laurel Hubbard representing New Zealand at the 2020 Olympics, in which she described the response as an attempt to deny trans people their human rights.[10] A complaint was laid with the Broadcasting Standards Agency, but it was not upheld.[11] Veale is researching the media coverage of Hubbard.[12]
