Embodied Inequality & Gender/Sex Diversity: Challenging Binary Concepts as Social Determinants of Health

Dr. Zachary Dubois specializes in resilience, social determinants of health, embodied stigma and inequality, and expanding and adding nuance to current conceptualizations of gender and sex. His research applies community-based, intersectional, mixed-methods approaches centering on the lived experience and health of transgender and gender-diverse people. Projects include pioneering work elaborating understandings of stigma and gender minority stress experiences of transgender and gender diverse people through life history and ethnographic interviews and mapping these onto the body as embodied stressors through the integration of minimally invasive biomarker measures with an aim of addressing health disparities in these populations.
