WE'RE LOOKING FOR PARTICIPANTS!
InTECHgration is an exploration of social media use and integration experiences among sexual and gender minority migrants in the US.
We are looking for sexual and gender minority migrants (immigrants, refugees, or asylum seekers) to the United States to participate in our study! We want to talk to you about your experiences living in the U.S., as well as your use of social media. |
Do you identify as trans* and live in the United States? Are you 14-29 years old?
snapshoT is a US national online study using photos for youth and young adults who identify as trans, genderfluid, and non-binary. Learn more and participate in snapshoT! |

The International Student Training Network (ISTN)
second cohort is fully recruited! The ISTN is designed to train the next generation of scholars to conduct research with Gender and Sexual Minority Youth (GSMY), with a particular focus on strengthening resilience through utilization of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in a global context. |
The ISTN’s instructors have helped guide my career path and provided opportunities for me build my research skills. The ISTN provides a level of LGBTQ+-specific education that I could never obtain at my home institution. I cannot begin to explain how much this educational experience means to me. To say thank you does not feel like a significant enough statement to express my gratitude, but thank you. |
🇲🇽 FROM THE MEXICO REGIONAL NETWORK 🇲🇽
The Mexican Regional Network completed its first project, based on focus groups and photo elicitation research with LGBT youth in three major Mexican cities. This project has allowed the network to send out its first academic paper for publication. We are currently working on three other projects which we hope to have finished by the end of 2020. Despite the difficulties we have faced in continuing our work and activism, more researchers have hopped on board the regional network. We are happy to continue our research in collaboration with experienced and senior researchers in LGBT health such as Dr. Luis Ortiz-Hernandez, and with younger and fresh researchers like Miguel Corral (PhD candidate).

La Red Regional de México terminó su primer proyecto, que usó grupos focales y foto-elicitación con juventudes LGBT en tres grandes metrópolis del país. Este proyecto nos permitió enviar a dictaminación un primer artículo académico y estamos trabajando en otros tres que esperemos puedan estar terminados para finales del 2020. A pesar de las dificultades en continuar con nuestra agenda activista, estamos muy emocionades de que podamos continuar nuestros proyectos de investigación con investigadores con conocida trayectoria en salud LGBT como el Dr. Luiz Ortíz-Hernández y con investigadores jóvenes como Miguel Corral (candidato a doctor).
