We are proud to announce that the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has featured Erin Burke and the Gay Fathers Project in their September newsletter and on their website!
“Erin Burke (Anthropology) wants to find out how and why human males nurture their young. In order to fully understand why studying paternal care would warrant such attention, it is important to first realize how unusual it is, she says.”

Thanks to everyone who came to the Pride New Haven Block Party on Saturday and stopped by our booth! It was great meeting so many members of the New Haven LGBTQ community and spreading the word about the Gay Fathers Project.
The Project even got a shout-out in the New Haven Register, which you can read here. If you stopped by our booth and would like to participate, please feel free to email us at erin.e.burke@yale.edu.
A special thanks to Amelia Sancilio and Tom Coben for their help setting up and to Elaine Guevara, Louise Guard, Liz Genne-Bacon and John Kelleher for breaking down.
Pride was a great event and we are already looking forward to next year!
