Daniel's research interests broadly deal with the intersection of race and LGBTQ+ identity, involving areas such as identity integration, race in sexual/dating relationships, and minority stress. His current projects center on: 1) Incongruent accrual of sexual capital among queer masculinized people, at the intersection of sexual, gender, racial expressions (e.g., how are exclusion and fetishization conceptually related? How does racialized sexual discrimination manifest (i.e., exclusion, fetishization)?); 2) Essentialization and binarism of sex roles among queer masculinized people (e.g., how are power dynamics implicated, established, and replicated in the hierarchy of sex roles? What is sex role binarism (SRB) conceptually, and how does it impact outcomes? Does SRB reflect a true, essential, immutable tendency among queer masculinized people?); and 3) intragroup derogation among queer men (i.e., queer men derogating the queerness of other queer men).
