A Primer on Empirical Research on Sexual Minorities
Presented 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
minorities. The workshop will provide participants with
the skills to identify the principal ways in which
sexual minorities are identified on surveys; critically
examine data that includes identification of sexual
minorities; consider strengths and challenges associated
with different methods of identification; consider the
appropriate use of these data; and identify and access
existing empirical data, including U.S. Census data,
that permits the identification of sexual minorities.
The training is by application only, and
information on the application process will be posted to
the Williams Institute website in December.
