Award
Arthur J. Schmitt Fellowship
As a 2023-24 Arthur J. Schmitt fellow, Christopher will complete his dissertation on gender identity and expression in U.S. adolescents using a recent, nationally representative survey of matched parent-adolescent dyads. In the dissertation, he seeks to fill gaps in the survey research literature and further understandings of pathways between gender identity and expression and adolescent development outcomes. Improvements in multidimensional measurement of gender in survey research can advance policy and activism in support of gender minority youth.
