Assistant Professor
University of Denver
PHOENIX, Arizona, United States
Dr. Mónica Gutiérrez (pronouns she/her/ella) serves as an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. Dr. Gutiérrez works at the intersection of social work and policy, employing social work tools to investigate a wide range of macro issues, primarily those directly relating to Latinas/os and neighborhood inequality.
Her research is motivated by her intersecting identities as a Mexicana raised near the Mexicali-Imperial Valley border and years spent growing up in California's Central Coast Region. As a first-generation college graduate, she has a strong desire to mentor other first-generation Latina/o students. Her interest in community-based methodologies stems from a decade of post-social work experience, which has informed her practical expertise in child welfare, veterans' health, criminal justice, and health promotion.
She has a B.A. in Chicano Studies and a minor in Industrial Design from San Francisco State University, as well as an MSW and a Ph.D. in Social Work from Arizona State University.
