Biography
Joshua Liashenko is an Instructional Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Sociology Department and Director of LGBTQ Studies. He is a medical anthropologist by training and his work centers LGBTQ+ community health, transgender medicine, caregiving, and community-engaged research. Joshua’s completed research examined how the inclusion of trans and non-binary clinicians affects the provision of gender-affirming care among trans Southern California residents. This work ethnographically investigated how experience-informed care interacts with LGBTQ activism, institutional care dynamics, as well as cultural and medical discourse concerning health disparities experienced by trans and non-binary people. His current work examines trans health outcomes among participants in a guaranteed income pilot program in California’s Coachella Valley region.
