As an educator, sexologist, and interculturalist, Sitron focuses on developing culturally sensitive curricula and training frameworks for sexuality education. His seminal work on the sexological worldview—a construct measuring professionals' cultural sensitivity to sexual diversity—has been published in leading journals. He integrates the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) into sexuality education, creating transformative learning experiences for graduate students.
His research spans the intersection of cultural competence and sexual health, particularly in marginalized communities. Recent articles emphasize harm reduction in education, attitude measurement tools, and the evolution of sexological worldview frameworks. Sitron's work has been cited globally, influencing HIV education initiatives and LGBTQ+ inclusive practices.
