Dr. Nekehia T. Quashie is a sociologist and population health scholar. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Studies at the University of Rhode Island.

Some of her ongoing research examines topics of childlessness, partnership quality, living arrangements, and caregiving in relation to later life health and well-being. Dr. Quashie examines these topics primarily within and across global regions of Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Europe. She is an editorial board member and Regional Liaison for Latin America and the Caribbean with the Journal of Global Ageing and Co-leads the monthly co-writing groups of GSA’s Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization (ESPO).
