Gender Resilience, Integration and Transformation

Tierney Lorenz (she/they) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They received their Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 after completing an internship at the University of Washington School of Medicine. They completed their postdoctoral work at the Kinsey Institute and the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior at Indiana University. Dr. Lorenz's research examines the interaction between mental, physical and sexual health in women and gender-diverse people. Their lab investigates the ways that sexual behavior impacts immune and endocrine function, as well as ways to help patients with mental and physical health conditions have happy, healthy sexual lives. They also focus on helping survivors of sexual trauma through basic science and clinical research.

Deb Hope received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University at Albany-State University of New York in 1990 and joined UNL in the same year. Her current research interests follow two broad themes: (a) assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders (particularly social anxiety disorder) and (b) the impact of stigma and discrimination on mental health and health services, particularly for individuals who identify as transgender, lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Her work on psychopathology emphasizes information processing models that describe the role of attention and memory in social anxiety disorder and the impact of these cognitive processes on interpersonal functioning. Dr. Hope also has ongoing research on both the outcome and process of psychotherapy, with a most recent emphasis on using technology to make evidence-based treatment more available, especially in underserved rural areas. The LGBT line of research is examining how stigma and discrimination impact mental health. Her current major collaborative effort is Trans Collaborations, a community-based participatory research group focused on reducing health disparities for individuals who identify as transgender or gender diverse and reside in areas with few specialty resources.

Kathryn Holland (she/her) is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Women's & Gender Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She earned her Ph.D. in Psychology and Women's Studies from the University of Michigan in 2017 and her B.A. in Applied Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008. Her research investigates how people's health and wellbeing are influenced by their social environments, with a focus on formal support systems, interpersonal processes, and social norms. She is primarily interested in well-being related to people's experiences of sexual assault and sexual health, particularly for those who are marginalized by gender and/or sexuality (e.g., women and LGBTQ+ communities). For example, she studies the implementation, use, and effectiveness of formal support systems for sexual assault in higher education. She also examines how social norms around gender and sexuality affect women's sexual health.

Tierney Lorenz（她/他）是內布拉斯加大學林肯分校心理學系和大腦、生物和行為中心的副教授。他們於2013年從德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校獲得臨床心理學博士學位，並在華盛頓大學醫學院完成實習。他們在金賽研究所和印第安納大學整合研究動物行為中心完成博士後研究。Lorenz博士的研究探討了女性和性別多樣化人群的心理、身體和性健康之間的相互作用。他們的實驗室研究性行為對免疫和內分泌功能的影響，以及幫助患有心理和身體健康問題的患者擁有快樂、健康的性生活的方法。他們還致力於通過基礎科學和臨床研究幫助性創傷倖存者。

Deb Hope於1990年從紐約州立大學奧爾巴尼分校獲得臨床心理學博士學位，並於同年加入內布拉斯加大學林肯分校。她目前的研究興趣涵蓋兩個主題：（a）焦慮疾病（尤其是社交焦慮症）的評估和治療，以及（b）污名和歧視對心理健康和健康服務的影響，尤其是對自認為跨性別、女同性戀或男同性戀的個體。她在精神病理學方面的工作強調信息處理模型，描述了注意力和記憶在社交焦慮症中的作用，以及這些認知過程對人際功能的影響。Hope博士還在心理治療的結果和過程方面進行了持續的研究，最近特別強調使用技術使循證治療更加普及，尤其是在服務不足的鄉村地區。LGBT研究項目正在研究污名和歧視如何影響心理健康。她目前的主要合作努力是Trans Collaborations，這是一個以社區為基礎的參與性研究團體，致力於減少在資源有限的地區居住並自認為跨性別或性別多樣化的個體之間的健康差距。

Kathryn Holland（她）是內布拉斯加大學林肯分校心理學和婦女與性別研究的副教授。她於2017年從密歇根大學獲得心理學和婦女研究的博士學位，並於2008年從伊利諾伊大學芝加哥分校獲得應用心理學學士學位。她的研究調查人們的社會環境如何影響他們的健康和幸福感，重點關注正式支持系統、人際過程和社會規範。她主要關注的是與性侵犯和性健康有關的幸福感，尤其是那些在性別和/或性取向上被邊緣化的人群（例如女性和LGBTQ+社群）。例如，她研究高等教育中性侵犯的正式支持系統的實施、使用和效果。她還研究性別和性取向的社會規範如何影響女性的性健康。
