Sal about their dissertation:

"I completed my dissertation "Health Care Experience of Trans Students Attending Historically Black Colleges" at the end of June. I will be presenting my dissertation findings at the upcoming annual meeting of SSWR (Society for Social Work and Research) in January, 2025. I also presented a poster of my findings in August at the National LGBTQ+ Health Conference in Atlanta, Ga. I am currently working on completing manuscripts resulting from prior work on identity, health disparities, and educational policy. My next projects is a survey of families who travel or relocate to access gender-affirming care for their children. I am also beginning background research for a qualitative study exploring how menopause affects the identity of nonbinary people assigned female at birth."
