Chase Bryer, Chickasaw PhD student in Behavioral and Social Health Sciences and NAISI Graduate Student Program Coordinator, continued his work with the Two-Spirit Dry Lab (2SDL) during the summer of 2023 in Vancouver, British Columbia. 2SDL is Turtle Island’s first research group that focuses exclusively on Two-Spirit people, communities, and experiences. The lab works to promote culturally responsive practices in sex and gender research and to grow new knowledge(s) that can be applied to improve the lives, health and/or wellbeing of Two-Spirit and other Indigenous people. His upcoming work in summer 2023 is supported by the Lighting Up Native Aspirations (LUNA) program through the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute at the University of Washington. In May 2023, Chase attended the second annual Two-Spirit Dry Lab strategic planning retreat. The retreat brought together Lab members for team building, strategic planning, and collaborative work.
