elijah castle

Hi there. My name is Elijah Castle. I work in research centered around the trans community, addressing topics such as client-clinician relationships, autonomy and consent, and how stigma affects provisions of care. I also provide educational workshops, materials, and support in community settings on topics related to gender-affirming healthcare including surgery information, healthcare navigation, adolescent care, and sexual health.

I strive for all of my work to be community-centered. My specific academic research interests and expertise include:
