Professor Herek's work focuses on issues of prejudice and stigma, especially as they apply to sexual orientation and HIV/AIDS. His recent research projects have included studies of sexual prejudice in the US population, the mental health consequences of hate crimes against lesbians and gay men, and the impact of stigma on people with HIV/AIDS. A Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Psychological Society, Professor Herek received the 1996 APA Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest, and the 2006 Kurt Lewin Memorial Award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (APA Division 9).
