About
S. Henry (Hank) Sherwood is a Sociologist and postdoctoral fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Human Development and Family Sciences studying under Dr. Stephen Russell. He received his PhD from New York University Steinhardt in the sociology of education. His research focuses on sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) in schools, their mental well-being, health equity, and the impacts of SGM identity disclosure.
Current Work
My research primarily focuses on LGBTQ+ youth, their life experiences after coming out to others, and their educational experiences. Currently, I am examining how scholars measure coming out for youth, how coming out affects their self-esteem and depression, and how it relates to their experiences with cyberbullying. I primarily conduct statistical analyses using data from the US and the European Union.
