The Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality (CRGS) is an interdisciplinary community of San Francisco State University faculty, students, and staff dedicated to studying innovative social science research questions, methods, and theories, and training new investigators. Frequently working in collaboration with community organizations, the CRGS is committed to producing new and useful knowledge about sexuality and gender. Our goal is to promote social justice and well-being by empirically challenging how inequalities undermine healthy sexuality.

CRGS is proud to be a part of the National Centers on Sexuality (NCS) at San Francisco State University. At the NCS, interdisciplinary sexuality science, advocacy, capacity building and training come together through the collaboration of three organizations:

CRGS, producing new knowledge to advance social justice and social change;

Research

CRGS at work
 
With the Gay Couples Study group joining CRGS in 2008, the research teams in CRGS became even stronger! The Gay Couples Study is now in the final stages of longitudinal data collection for both its qualitative and quantitative arms. Data collection for the qualitative interviews should finish by July, 2009 and the quantitative surveys should finish by February, 2010. Currently, the Gay Couples Study Team is working on several manuscripts for publication in profession journals, and will be presenting findings at the upcoming National HIV Prevention Conference in August.

The Girls' Risk Project, with PI Dr. Lynn Sorsoli at the helm, was recently completed. This study examined girls' decisions to engage in noncoital sexual behaviors, and the ways girls' narratives of those experiences differ by racial/ethnic group. It also explored the roles played by girls' health beliefs, gender beliefs, and behavioral contexts. Dr. Sorsoli and Project Coordinator Allegra Hirschman are now hard at work on an innovative new project that will examine the risks IRB members perceive regarding adolescent participation in sexuality studies, how adolescents perceive risk and experience study participation in sexuality studies and how the perceived risk and actual experiences of adolescents compare to the risks perceived by IRB members.

While wrapping up on his Trayectos Study, Dr. Héctor Carrillo began work on a new project focused on adult male circumcision. In the Circumcision Study, Dr. Carrillo will study the cultural factors of adult circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy for Mexican immigrants. After facing some initial recruitment challenges, the study is now just 5 participants away from reaching the desired sample size.

Dr. Jessica Fields and her research team recently capped off their Jailed Women and HIV Education project, a feminist analysis of incarcerated women's experiences of HIV education and risk, with culminating experience events at both the CRGS and the San Francisco County Jail. The Jailed Women and HIV Education study brings new attention, funding, and employment opportunities to the concerns of women of color locked up in San Francisco and other county jails. In addition, Dr. Fields continues to work alongside Drs. Rita Melendez and Amy Sueyoshi on H.O.L.D. (Honoring Leadership and Diversity) which involves interviews with administrators, faculty, and graduate students to investigate the barriers for women of color’s involvement at sexuality centers such as CRGS and within academia more broadly.

Dr. Rita Melendez is examining the relations between gender roles, religion, and HIV prevention among Latina and African-American women, and has recently begun work on the interview portion of her study.

 The Abigail Quigley McCarthy Center for Women’s Research, Resources, and Scholarship at St. Catherine University works to build a community of faculty and student scholars and activists working on issues of race, class, gender, and other differences; gather and share resources relating to these issues; and highlight the leadership and work of women at the University and in various communities for women’s justice and equality. 

Throughout its history, the Center has been a catalyst and supporter of many projects and programs that address women’s issues, from the building of a strong Women’s Studies program to a student-directed campaign to address the concerns of student parents. The Center’s commitment to open, honest dialogue about tough issues and a belief in the necessity of work for justice form the backbone of the work we do.
