Stories from Encircle with Stacey Harkey
Society & Culture
To round out our celebration of Women's History Month, we're sharing this conversation between Dr. Leandra Hernandez (she/her) from Utah Valley University and Dr. Lisa Diamond (she/her) from the University of Utah, as they discuss Women's History, queer feminists we should know more about, and a discourse on the state of women's rights, accomplishments, and the fight for a better future.
Dr. Leandra H. Hernandez (Ph.D., Texas A&M University) enjoys teaching health communication, gender studies, and media studies courses. She utilizes Chicana feminist & qualitative approaches to explore Latina/o/x cultural health experiences, Latina/o/x journalism and media representations, and reproductive justice and gendered violence contexts. Her teaching philosophy is informed by social justice approaches, and she is passionate about mentoring undergraduate students through diverse and inclusive research projects.
Dr. Lisa M. Diamond's research focuses on sexuality, gender, and intimate relationships, and their implications for health and well-being over the life course. Her primary research areas include (1) fluidity in sexual and gender expression among women and men, (2) biological underpinnings of sexual desire and experience, (3) the impact of early-life adversity on social and sexual development, and (4) the implications of sexual well-being for physical and mental health. In addressing these questions, she uses a diverse range of research methods, including longitudinal observation across multiple time spans, controlled laboratory experiments, and collection of biomarkers (such as oxytocin, cortisol, and markers of systemic inflammation).
