Defining LGBTQ+ Publics Through Consumer Genomics

What are the implications of genomic sexuality research for LGBTQ+ identities and publics? This project provides a timely and collaborative intervention as genomics moves into sexuality research, and LGBTQ+ politics gain new salience. While scholarship has engaged with the emergence of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing in relation to race, ethnicity, and disability little work has been conducted regarding more recent forays into sexual identity and the intersection of these categories. This project seeks to address this gap in the research and examine the implications of these genomic sexuality studies for local and global intersectional
LGBTQ+ publics.
