Bio
Dr. Inge Hansen is a clinical psychologist and director of Well-Being at Stanford University. Well-Being’s mission is to empower individuals and communities to flourish through education, connection and positive culture change. She is the co-founder and director of Stanford’s Weiland Health Initiative, which is dedicated to promoting mental health and wellness across all genders and sexualities. Dr. Hansen has also developed several new academic courses in the realm of gender and sexualities, including Challenging Sex & Gender Dichotomies in Medicine, Human Sexual Diversity and Health, and Transgender Studies. Additionally, she co-organizes and hosts the North America event for World Sexual Health Day, an event that brings together speakers from across the country to provide both education and celebration around sexual health and sexual rights. Dr. Hansen’s book The Ethical Sellout, co-authored with Lily Zheng, addresses the double binds that are encountered by all of us—but in particular queer, BIPOC and other marginalized people--as we navigate the competing pulls of authenticity and getting ahead.
