The D.O. Hebb Lecture Series was initiated in 1989 in memory of Hebb’s contribution to the science of behavior. Invited speakers of the D.O. Lecture series are scientists who have made distinguished empirical contributions to basic research in all areas of psychology. It is currently made possible by the generous support of the D.O. Hebb Endowment Memorial Fund.
Most speakers also deliver an informal seminar held in the morning.

Gender Diversity in Childhood Adolescence
Abstract: As the number of transgender and nonbinary youth is increasing, so too is criticism and concern about these youth. In this talk, I will describe the first 10 years of an in-depth, long-term study of transgender, nonbinary and cisgender youth. I’ll describe what we’ve learned about their gender identities and wellbeing over time and how what we’ve learned about these youth speaks to long-standing debates in developmental, clinical, and social psychology – and also debates happening in the media, school boards and courtrooms.
