Professor Salinas-Quiroz’s research centers trans and nonbinary children and youth, focusing on how they imagine, inhabit, and transform gender, family, and belonging. She works alongside young people to challenge the rigid binaries that limit their lives, and sees research as a space for co-creation, joy, and justice. Through transdisciplinary approaches, Salinas-Quiroz seeks to expand our understanding of change—not as a fixed "path of development," but as the complex, shifting, and plural ways children and communities grow. At the core, their scholarship asks how we can build worlds where trans and queer youth not only exist, but thrive. All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

The program, developed in collaboration with the prestigious Organization for Tropical Studies, links intensive language or culture learning (at different levels) and homestays with a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of Costa Rica’s rainforests and cloud forests first-hand. Students conduct their own research to study how animals and people are adapting to our changing world. The first half of the program takes place in the capital city, San José; students then move to La Selva Research Station and Monteverde in the second half to conduct field-based research projects. Students must have completed SPN 003 or equivalent prior to participation on the program.
