at graduate students who are or will be conducting
empirical research on sexual orientation. The two-day
workshop provides participants with the skills to

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.
