Julia McQuoid, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and works at the Health Promotion Research Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She is a health geographer interested in qualitative and mixed methods approaches to understanding relationships between people’s everyday environments and behaviors related to health and wellbeing. Her current research program in Oklahoma focuses on substance use in rural communities by employing mHealth data collection methods and qualitative mapping to understand the everyday patterns, contexts, roles, and meanings of different substances for rural groups. During her fellowship at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UCSF, she researched place-embedded social practices of smoking within marginalized groups, such as young LGBTQI adults, in order to better understand the persistence of smoking within these groups and inform the design and effectiveness of tobacco control efforts. During her PhD, she explored experiences of time and space for individuals negotiating everyday life with chronic kidney disease, and collaborated with a research group focused on time and health at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health in Australia.
