Arcoíris Research Collective

The Arcoíris Research Collective (ARC) centers the lives and relationships of sexual and gender diverse adolescents and emerging adults at the intersections of sex, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, and class. Mainly, we integrate developmental, minority stress, biological, and intersectionality theoretical frameworks to examine how interlocking systems of power and oppression conjointly initiate and perpetuate stressful life conditions that compromise biological stress processes and the psychological health of sexual and gender diverse adolescents and emerging adults.
