Assistant Professor
University of Denver
Erin Harrop (they/them), LICSW, PhD is an assistant professor at University of Denver and a licensed medical social worker. Erin’s research focuses on eating disorders, weight stigma, and inclusive healthcare. Erin centers marginalized populations (e.g., queer, trans, higher weight, lower SES, BIPOC communities), incorporating mixed methods, arts-based, and lived experience research. In addition to studying the impact of stigma on these groups, Erin is also investigating interventions to reduce stigma. They recently received funding to evaluate a weight-inclusive support group protocol for patients with eating disorders in a randomized wait-list controlled trial. Additionally, they also design and evaluate interventions targeting stigma at the healthcare provider level, introducing interprofessional clinicians to weight-inclusive practices that honor patients’ unique intersecting identities.
