Telaireus “T.K.” Herrin, PsyD, a doctoral candidate in the PhD in Religion program at Claremont Graduate University, is seeking participants for a qualitative research study exploring the experiences of Gay Black men who continue to identify with Pentecostal religious traditions.
This qualitative study explores how Gay Black Pentecostal men understand and navigate the intersections of Black masculinity, faith, sexuality, scripture, spiritual identity, and belonging.
