Gender, Sexuality, and Health

Participants interacting with each other at a conference

The Gender, Sexuality and Health (GSH) Research Cluster explores gender and sexuality as they intersect with social determinants of health (such as race, ethnicity, age, and class) throughout the lifespan.

Research findings address key health challenges, inequities, and inequalities between and among different subpopulations.

The cluster focuses on community-based scholarship and partnerships with the community.
