Sex Contextualism in Practice

Abstract: A contextualist approach to sex-related biology offers an alternative to binary sex essentialist approaches to research design and interpretation.  Professor Richardson's talk introduces sex contextualism as a framework to support accountable, rigorous, precise research on sex-related variables that works to enhance health equity.
