The Equity and Inclusion Lab is directed by Dr. Marlow Guerrant, an applied social and community psychologist passionate about utilizing research as a tool to understand and address social problems, particularly those facing diverse LGBTQ+ populations such as immigrants, Latinx persons, and transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. As a community psychologist by training, the lab is guided by a focus on research which is strengths-based, participatory, and focuses on empowering historically marginalized populations.

In collaboration with undergraduate research assistants at Union College, the lab focuses on research tied to:

Sex and sexuality
Gender expression and identity
Race and ethnicity
Intersectionality
Stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination experienced by minority groups
Medical mistrust and the role of healthcare experiences in shaping health behavior
Equity in mental and physical health (particularly sexual health)
Inclusive health promotion and sexual education
Self-efficacy, sense of community, communication, and prior experiences
Social justice and policy
