The Sexuality Minoritized Identities, and Lifespan Experiences (SMILEs) at Sacred Heart University Lab studies how stigma affects people across the lifespan and what helps individuals thrive in the face of these stressors

11/07/2025

We are the Sexuality, Minoritized Identities, and Lifespan Experiences Lab—better known as the SMILES Lab.

While our lab is not new, our presence on social media is. Since 2022, Dr. Michael T. Vale has worked with students at Sacred Heart University to research important topics such as ageism, sexuality, stigma, resilience, and identity across the lifespan.

Follow this page to: stay up to date on our latest research findings, learn more about our research team, and be the first to hear about upcoming studies and participation opportunities!

We are excited to share our work with you and to build a community interested in research.
