Who We ARe

Our lab is comprised of faculty and students across multiple disciplines and experience levels who are interested in SGM health, ranging from barriers to healthcare, physical and mental health, and social and structural factors that impact health outcomes. Broadly, our lab is focused on documenting health disparities for SGM communities across multiple axes of inequality including, but not limited to, race, place, socioeconomic status, age, and ability.
