Our lab is comprised of graduate and undergraduate students and research assistants from a variety of backgrounds in addition to psychology, including journalism, art and music theory and practice, film studies, philosophy, sociology, literature, history, and sexual diversity studies. A multi-disciplinary approach directs our research, both theoretically and epistemologically.
