Sexualities
Critical research on human sexuality informs how we understand psychological experiences of diverse sexual identities, desires, behaviors, as well as the institutional processes and practices that produce inequalities for sexual and gender minorities. Our work in this domain has concentrated on sexual orientation beliefs, LGBT+ mental health and psychotherapy, and sexual and reproductive health.
