Biography
I've been working across the fields of journalism and equalities for over three decades, specialising first and foremost in film. My disability prevented me getting NCTJ qualified (I can't physically use shorthand) but I have extensive experience, as well as masters degrees in English and Sociology & Research Methods. I have additional training in science, medicine and working with statistics. I have a strong network of contacts, especially within the film industry and the third sector, along with expertise in delivering training to journalists in equalities and human rights issues. I am an active member of the NUJ and the Online Film Critics' Society, as well as being a CherryPicks and Tomatometer registered critic. I routinely work with major international film festivals and cover awards events including the Oscars. As inclusivity coordinator at the Bylines Network, I aim to build alternative routes into journalism for people from under-represented groups, and to broaden and diversify the public conversation. I am particularly concerned with ensuring that minoritised groups which are frequently talked about by others in the media have a voice of their own. My published books include Transgender Employees in the Workplace; Supporting Trans and Non-binary People with Disabilities and Illnesses; and Growing Older as a Trans and/or Non-binary Person. I have also worked on a number of short films, primarily as a writer but also as a director, producer and, occasionally, actor. I am a regular participant in the 48 Hour Film Festival, working with teams in Scotland and Colorado.

By Jennie Kermode Verified| Bylines Scotland Verified 200 years ago, women in the UK had an average of five children. Today, that average is 1.75. If that figure sounds a little odd, it is of course because many, whether through choice or circumstance, don’t have children at all. Many prominent right-wingers would have us believe that this slump in the birth rate heralds a population crash. Elon Musk, who has at least 14 children, has spoken about it in apocalyptic terms, but it’s not what it looks like.
By Jennie Kermode Verified| Eye for Film Verified Every year, around 370,000 US women are diagnosed with breast cancer. In recent years, the rate of diagnosis has been rising, especially among younger women, though at the same time the rate of death from the disease has fallen, with treatments becoming more and more effective.
