A Primer on Empirical Research on Sexual Orientation
By Application Only
Presented annually by the Williams Institute's M.V. Lee Badgett and Gary J. Gates, this training is directed at graduate students who are or will be conducting empirical research on sexual orientation. The two-day workshop provides participants with the skills to identify the principal ways in which sexual orientation is identified on surveys; critically examine data that include identification of sexual orientation; and identify and access existing empirical data, including U.S. Census data, that permit the identification of sexual orientation.
