Not knowing anything about such programmes, I don't have recommendations of my own to offer. But I was reminded that a highly respected sex researcher, Milton Diamond, is at the University of Hawaii. He was the researcher who broke the real story of David Reimer (John/Joan), the unfortunate boy who suffered severe damage to his penis as a baby, and was then reared as a girl. Diamond's contribution is featured in the Colapinto account, _As Nature Made Him_. So I searched the U of Hawaii to see if they had a programme, which they do, two actually, one in the School of Social Work, and the other at Diamond's Pacific Center for Sex and Society. I'm not sure about the social work one but apparently at the Pacific Center you can get a Ph.D. or non-terminal M.A.. Diamond provides a list of "American Institutions with Human Sexuality Programs" on his website. They don't specify which are graduate programmes, but as some of these have "Graduate" or "Ph.D." in their title, these at least must be. http://www.hawaii.edu/PCSS/links/programs.html Must be nice, going to graduate school in Hawaii. Another list of programmes I came across, possibly of interest, is from the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality at www.sexscience.org/uploads/media/SSSS_doctorate_and_masters_programs.htm I see from that list that if your student insists that she wants to go to a place with only two seasons--3 months of bad weather, and winter, Canada is represented by two programmes, one at the University of Guelph (Ontario); the other at the University of New Brunswick. But you probably already have lotsa lists. What you want are recommendations, which I can't help with. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
