How can we define, measure, and make sense of gender/sex and sexuality in ways that take lived experience and bioscience seriously? In this talk, Dr. van Anders discusses methods, theories, and results from her interdisciplinary, feminist and queer science research program, focusing on gender/sex and sexual diversity, as well as hormones and bioscience. Dr. van Anders highlights how these approaches can contribute to research in bioscience and beyond for understandings of gender/sex and sexual diversity that are dynamic and multifaceted, as well as more accurate, empirical, and just.
