Harry Barbee

Assistant Professor of Health, Behavior and Society, Johns Hopkins University

Assistant Professor of Health, Behavior and Society, Johns Hopkins University Dr. Barbee (they/them) uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how social locations — especially gender and sexuality — influence people’s experiences of health and aging. They are particularly interested in detecting, understanding, and reducing health disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) populations by studying the population's exposures to stressful life events, like discrimination, harassment, and violence. Dr. Barbee is also interested in examining interventions that can improve health and aging outcomes among LGBTQ populations. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Dr. Barbee's research addresses a range of topics that are important to medical sociologists, gerontologists, gender and sexualities scholars, public health experts, and policy makers. For instance, they have developed innovative perspectives on timely issues that have implications for improving LGBTQ health and aging, including experiences of victimization, access to LGBTQ affirming health care, workplace stress, worries about prospective health, the medicalization of human behavior, and the emotional burdens of living in a society that assumes a gender binary.
