Biography

Brandon Hill’s research examines the intersection of science and the study of sex and gender. His work primarily utilizes a biological and psychological approach to examining how individuals perceive gender and sexual behavior. Brandon’s research on sexual attitudes, sexuality, and transgender health has been presented both internationally and at US conferences. In the spring of 2008, he was awarded the International Friends of Kinsey Research Grant for his project titled; The Face of Gender: Sexual Dimorphism, Facial Features and Passability. Later that year he was invited to attend the University of Michigan International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Psychology Institute where he studied with Drs. Leonore Tiefer and Lih-Mei Liao. Currently, Brandon is an associate researcher at The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction working on a research project funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
