Kelly L. Markowski studies how people's sense of identity is formed, maintained, and sometimes eroded through social relationships, group memberships, and place attachment, often using identity theory and social network analysis. Their work also examines social support systems in vulnerable or underrepresented populations, such as rural and Alaska Native communities, minority STEM students, and people who use drugs. A prospective student would work within sociology and social psychology, combining survey and network methods to understand how social ties shape self-concept, mental health, and behavior.
