Dr. Lucero is an Associate Professor of Social Work in the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology at Utah State University where she also serves as the Graduate Director for their Full-Time MSW Program and Director of the Transforming Communities Institute.

Prior to joining the faculty at USU, she completed her doctoral studies at Wayne State University in Detroit and her MSW and BSW at the University of Wyoming. Lucero’s research orientation is very interdisciplinary and she enjoys exchanging ideas and working to improve social systems with other interdisciplinary scholars, practitioners and students who are committed to social justice.

Dr. Lucero is a nationally recognized scholar in community-based participatory research – she is particularly interested in research that produces real-world recommendations for solving the complex challenges that communities face. Specifically, her community-based research centers on violence prevention and intervention, refugees in the U.S., and housing justice issues. Her service in the community does the same.
