Assistant Professor
Ashley Lacombe-Duncan's global work focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (trans), queer, and other sexuality and gender diverse (LGBTQ+) people's sexual and reproductive health. Her research interests in health equity align with the Center’s themes of addressing social and environmental determinants of health, and empowering women. Lacombe-Duncan's community-based interdisciplinary research agenda advances two overarching areas: sexual and reproductive healthcare access among LGBTQ+ people and women living with HIV, with a substantive focus on trans women living with HIV; and social ecological, intersectionality, and multi-level stigma theoretical approaches applied to understand and address health for LGBTQ+ and women living with HIV in local and global contexts.
