This course involves undergraduates in all phases of ongoing research being conducted in the Diverse Families and Sexualities Laboratory of Professor Abbie Goldberg. The primary project that Dr. Goldberg's team is working on is The Transition to Adoptive Parenthood Project, a 20 year longitudinal study of heterosexual, lesbian, and gay adoptive parents, most of whom have adopted transracially, which focuses on parents' experiences in a wide range of settings (e.g., their communities; their children's schools). Recent interviews and surveys have included the teenagers in these families. Dr. Goldberg is also working on a variety of other projects that examine the effects of anti-LGBTQ+ policies and laws on families. Students will participate in weekly lab meetings. Students will also participate in transcribing participant interviews, coding data, entering data, and assisting with other lab tasks. To be accepted into the lab, students must: Complete an application (see Dr. Goldberg's website); meet a minimum GPA requirement; interview with Dr. Goldberg and a doctoral student; be able to articulate the intersection between their interests and career goals and the foci of/opportunities provided by the lab; and be able to commit to one year in the lab.
