Dean Murphy is a Visiting Fellow at the University of New South Wales focused on the intersection of sexuality, gender, and health. His research investigates the understandings and diagnoses of HIV blood-borne viruses, drug and alcohol consumption practices, and biomedical HIV prevention technologies. Dean explores the HIV-related stigma within LGBTQ kinship and evaluates health promotion strategies. His notable contributions include a PhD thesis that received an inaugural prize for early-career researchers and serves as a significant reference in the studies of gay men's experiences of parenthood through surrogacy. The work emphasizes how men access assisted reproductive technologies and the evolving narratives about masculinity and kinship in the context of family life. Dean's insights challenge and reinforce dominant notions of kinship, highlighting the complexities faced by gay men as they pursue parenthood in both domestic and transnational settings.
