Our 2022 program includes symposia, skill-building workshops, poster sessions, and discussion hours. Our presenters include leaders in the field as well as emerging scholars, and many have lived experiences related to their professional expertise. We are grateful to offer three poster sessions during Convention, including a specialized poster session highlighting research on gender diversity and queer youth.
While most of our programming content will be offered in person in Minneapolis per APA requirements, we will also host a virtual Division 44 hospitality suite to increase the accessibility of our programming. Virtual suite programming will offer opportunities for community building as well as further learning about the latest research and practices in the psychology of sexual orientation and gender diversity. Our suite programming will be virtual, including the EC meeting. The suite schedule will be released in mid-July.
For any questions or feedback related to programming for Division 44, please reach out by email.
