Jae Puckett, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University, will deliver the Women's and Gender Studies Program's Annual Lecture on Oct. 24 at 6:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Unity Room of the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center and is free and open to the public.
Puckett leads Trans-ilience, a community-engaged research team focused on minority stress and resilience in transgender and nonbinary communities. Their work has focused on identifying novel forms of minority stress experienced by trans and nonbinary people, the impacts on health and wellbeing, and contextualizing these experiences in the broader sociopolitical contexts that influence the lives of trans and gender diverse people, as well as advancing understanding of the unique ways resilience is embodied in these communities.
