Emily Allen Paine is a PhD student studying the interplay among sexual, racial, and gender identities, social institutions like the healthcare system, stress and health. Specifically, she is currently working to: identify barriers and facilitators to healthcare among sexual and gender identity minorities in the U.S. and Canada; examine how organizational settings structure the ways in which multiply marginalized LGBTQ individuals experience and make decisions about healthcare; and compare how midlife transitions related to health and caregiving shape experiences of sex and sexuality among women in same-sex and different-sex marriages.
