Kate Kuvalanka, professor of family science and social work, and student co-authors Jason Abram, a current MSW student, and Sophia Goldberg, a current undergraduate, recently published an article in the Journal of Family Theory & Review titled “Viewing the family court experiences of affirming parents and their transgender and gender diverse children through the lens of intersectionality.”

The article uses an intersectionality framework to examine how sexism, racism, classism, and anti-transgender bias intersect in a family court custody case involving a transgender child. The work highlights the systemic challenges faced by affirming parents and their transgender and gender-diverse children, while offering recommendations for addressing inequalities within the family court system.
