Ian W. Holloway is a visiting professor at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. He is editor-in-chief of Sexuality Research and Social Policy. For more than a decade, Professor Holloway has co-directed the Southern California HIV/AIDS Policy Research Center, and since 2020, he has co-directed the UCLA Hub for Health Intervention, Policy and Practice.

Trained as a clinical social worker and public health researcher, Holloway studies how biomedical and digital innovations can reduce, rather than reproduce, health inequities. For more than two decades, his community-engaged research has focused on sexual and gender minority communities, with particular emphasis on HIV prevention and care, PrEP, sexually transmitted infections, substance use, digital health and the implementation of evidence-based policy. His work has helped establish social and geosocial technologies as platforms for health promotion, informed California policies and programs related to pharmacy-based HIV prevention and guided public health responses to mpox.

Holloway has authored or co-authored more than 130 peer-reviewed articles as well as numerous policy briefs and technical reports. His research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, California HIV/AIDS Research Program, Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program, California Department of Public Health, CDC Foundation, Department of Defense and Merck. He received his PhD in Social Work from USC in 2012, his MSW and MPH from Columbia University in 2007, and his BA from the University of California, San Diego in 2001.
