Dr. Garrett-Walker utilizes quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine the intersections of multiple identities; specifically gender, race, religion, and sexuality. Dr. Garrett-Walker is most interested in the ways in which BIPOC 2SLGBTQ+ young adults maintain positive mental health and well-being in the face of negative religious rhetoric, racism, homophobia, transphobia, cissexism, and heterosexism. Dr. Garrett-Walker's work has emphasized the role of identity in the development of culturally competent HIV prevention interventions and community resources. Dr. Garrett-Walker also has a line of inquiry that examines the ways in which shared educational privilege impacts colorblind racial ideologies and privilege awareness among college students.

The campaign went viral on the internet and has been implemented at universities from Turtle Island to New Zealand.

All of Dr. Garrett-Walker's research challenges systems and structures that seek to oppress, and marginalize, racialized gender and sexually expansive people. Dr. Garrett-Walker's research focuses on the ways in which BIPOC 2SLGBTQ+ people survive and thrive as opposed to the pathology entrenched in psychology.

Together with his colleagues, Hakob developed a new academic workflow and implemented it by co-founding the online encyclopedia and the peer-reviewed journal of scientonomy as digital means for a fruitful integration of the history and philosophy of science. He leads a team of scholars that work on advancing a theory of scientific change by developing a system of diagram-templates for visualizing worldviews, refining and propagating the new workflow, and creating a database of intellectual history.

As an instructor, Hakob has designed and taught a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses, including a number of online courses, and won several teaching awards. Hakob currently teaches:

• VIC 173 – Philosophy of Science for Physical Scientists (VIC ONE – Schawlow Stream)
• VIC 245 – Science Wars
• REN 242 – Scientific Worldviews of the Renaissance

Hakob also supervises a research opportunity program on knowledge visualization, where each year a group of talented undergraduate students joins his team of graduate students, postdocs, and established scholars to work on developing and applying diagrammatic tools to visualize various aspects of historical and contemporary belief systems and debates.
