Gender, Sexuality and Intimate Relationships

Lab Overview:   

The Gender, Sexuality, and Intimate Relationships Lab is dedicated to conducting high quality and impactful research, which focuses on increasing our current understanding of gender, sexuality, sex and relationships. This includes (but is not limited to): relationships and sex education, communication in sexual relationships, trans and gender diverse healthcare, and PrEP uptake. Through this research, we aim to increase awareness and inclusivity, amplify voices, reduce barriers and advocate for a research-informed approach. Much of our research is shaped by the experiences of our participants and we aim to incorporate community engagement into the research process. The Lab is formed through an aim to develop a supportive research community and acts as a space for colleagues to collaborate, share ideas and support one another throughout our research and academic journeys.
