Research Interest
Alyssa is a first year graduate student at the University of Texas in Austin, Tx. She is broadly interested in the role that sexual and physical intimacy plays in close relationships. More specifically, she is interested in uncovering a clear understanding of the intersection between sex and contextual stress in commited romantic relationships. Furthermore, she is also investigating the nuances of sexual relationships across the lifespan in order to demonstrate how sex functions differently based on age with the goal of combating the ageist stereotypes that revolve around age and sexual activity.
