Biography
Dr. Guadalupe Marquez-Velarde is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Utah State University. She earned a Ph.D. in Sociology from Texas A&M University in 2018, where she specialized in demography and health disparities. Dr. Marquez-Velarde’s main research interests are intersectionality and population health, or how the lived experience of belonging to more than one socially disadvantaged or marginalized population is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Using a critical perspective, her research stems from the notion that interlocking systems of inequality work in tandem to produce negative health outcomes through multiple biopsychosocial mechanisms. Her expertise includes Immigrant, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ health, as well as social demography. Dr. Marquez-Velarde was awarded a Career Enhancement Fellowship by the Institute for Citizens and Scholars (formerly the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation) in 2021. Her research has been published in JAMA Network Open, Social Science & Medicine, the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, and the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities. Her current research evaluates the association of discrimination experiences and cardiovascular and sleep health outcomes among sexual and gender minorities.
