Conversations About SSOGI Demography

The collection and curation of data on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity (SSOGI) is essential to sexual and gender minority (SGM) health research. While this topic has received increasing attention in recent years, much of it has focused on developing standardized measures which can be applied across contexts. Less attention has been paid to core theoretical, ideological, and philosophical aspects of SSOGI demography, yet these viewpoints are essential. With this in mind, the EDIT Program and ADVOCATE SGM Health Program at ISGMH developed a series of recorded conversations focused on core epistemological, ontological, axiological, ethical, and methodological tensions in SSOGI demography.
