The Gender Lab looks at research questions related to gender, sexuality, and cultural/historical/social contexts. Using mostly computer-based technologies, students in the gender lab conduct qualitative thematic analyses of interview and archival data, quantitative web-based experiments, and online surveys.
Graduates of The Gender Lab have presented their research at the College of Staten Island Undergraduate Research Conference, the American Psychological Association, the Eastern Psychological Association annual conference, and the annual conference of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.
