Come to this talk by postdoctoral fellow Dr. Alexandra Kralick about her research on orangutan skeletons.

We sat down with Alex Borsa and Mia Miyagi, team leaders for an article out this week in GLQ entitled “The New Genetics of Sexuality,” which serves as a State of the Field review of sexual genetics research. Alex and Mia discuss what they learned while writing the piece and how they hope this work will be used moving forward.

This fall, we welcomed Alexandra Kralick to the GenderSci Lab as our new Robert Wood Johnson Foundation postdoctoral associate! We sat down with Alexandra for a Q&A to learn more about her plans and work in the lab!

We sat down to talk with Katie Lee, who recently became an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Tulane University. Katie has been an active member of GSL for several years and provides useful insight from her gender studies, bioanthropology, and engineering background.

We sat down to talk with Joe Bruch, who recently became a professor of public health sciences at The University of Chicago. Joe has been an active member of GSL since its founding and directs the Health Care Finance team.

Recently lab director Sarah Richardson published a paper proposing sex contextualism as a new model for conceptualizing and operationalizing sex in biomedical research. We take a moment to unpack sex contextualism with Sarah, digging into both the substance and the implications of her argument.

Here, we situate the Gender Equality Paradox in the larger field of understanding gender segregation in STEM fields by talking to renowned scholar Professor Maria Charles, Professor of Sociology, Director of the Broom Center for Demography, and Feminist Studies affiliate at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Professor Charles has worked for decades to understand why postindustrial countries have greater segregation in STEM fields, and she draws on her broad expertise on the persistence of gender inequalities in gender-progressive societies and global variation in gender equality to help us understand the Gender Equality Paradox.

Brain sex-difference research usually focuses on average differences between men and women. Neuroscientist Daphna Joel challenges this approach by asking, “Wait! What exactly do you mean by ‘difference’?”
