Research Interests
My research is largely focuses on understanding same-sex sexuality and transgender/gender-diverse identities from a cross-cultural, psychosocial, biodevelopmental, and evolutionary perspective. This research has been mainly conducted in Thailand and the Istmo region of Oaxaca, Mexico, where same-sex attracted individuals identify with culturally recognized non-binary gender categories. My research interests includes the evolution and cross-cultural correlates of same-sex sexuality, intersexual mate competition, and the development of gender identities and gender-related thinking (e.g., gender categorization, gender stereotyping). I am also interested in exploring the ways in which culture influences sex and gender differences in gendered behaviours/interests (e.g., masculinity and femininity) and in sexual behaviour, attitudes, and feelings.
