Gillian Hyslop (she/they)

I graduated with my BA (honours) in Psychology with a minor in Gender & Women’s Studies from Dalhousie in 2015, and have been involved in the Couples and Sexual Health Lab since early 2013, first as a volunteer, then as a research assistant, independent research student, and finally as the Lab Manager. I am privileged to be involved with several studies in the Lab as a part of my work, including recruitment, participant support, and survey technical support for the STORK RCT Study and HOLD RCT study, and administrative support for the iHOLD Study.

I have a keen interest in issues regarding sexual consent and sexual education, as well as how we, as researchers, can make research more inclusive. In my spare time I love all things creative, reading, singing in a non-audition choir, and community-building.
