With over 50 publications, Swank writes on the ways that stigmatized populations accept and challenge social inequalities. In addressing issues of discrimination and agency, his research explores the ways that institutional biases and community resources are related to minority stress, LGBT activism, sexual compliance, and color-blind racism. His works appear in Sex Roles, Archives of Sexual Behavior, Journal of Homosexuality, Research in Higher Education and other top journals. Finally, Eric Swank is the Assistant Director of NCUIRE, the ASU West program that encourages and funds undergraduate research experiences. Email: eric.swank@asu.edu
