Biography

I am a cultural anthropologist and senior lecturer of Global Health and environment and health topics in the School of Social and Political Sciences. I specialize on issues related to health and disease, environment, conservation, gender,  livelihoods, and community-based impact-driven methods in East Africa. My background is in environmental and cultural anthropology and I received my PhD the University of Colorado, Boulder, where my research explored the history of conservation and risks involved with it for communities living on the borders of national parks and protected areas in Tanzania. Past work has been on land rights, women's empowerment, gender based violence, the impacts of climate change on life and livelihoods, and the impacts of zoonotic diseases in pastoralist and agro-pastoralist commuinities of Northern Tanzania.

Current research interests and projects span areas of global health, "One Health" and planetary health; climate change impacts on health; and conservation primarily in East Africa. Most of my work falls within a "One Health" framework and is heavily interdisciplinary. I work with teams of veterinary and human health specialists, ecolgists, epidemiologists, economists, geographers, and anthropologists. My projects include topics such as antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic diseases, vaccines, and pastoralist health and wellbeing. I also investigate environmental topics, such as the impact of drought and climate change on pastoralist livelihoods and more broadly on the intersection of health and environment and within social-environmental systems.

I am an ardent supporter of interdisciplinary research and of bringing the power of anthropology to broad interdisciplinary teams, like those with natural and health scientists, in order to illuminate the impacts of real world challenges on our everyday lives.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Most of my work falls within a "One Health" framework and is heavily interdisciplinary. I work with research teams that include veterinary and human health specialists, ecologists, epidemiologists, economists, geographers, and anthropologists.

My main areas of interest include:

  • Global Health & One-Health
    • Intersection of human and animal health and environment within social-environmental systems in East Africa
  • Zoonotic Disease impacts on rural livestock keepers
  • Antimicrobial resistance
  • Pastoralist livelihoods, health, and wellbeing
  • Climate change, environment, conservation
  • Land use change, policy, impacts
  • Gender
  • Community-based, impact-driven, action-oriented and ethnographic methodologies
  • Human-animal relationships
  • Ethnography

Current Projects: 

REMIT: Rift Valley Fever Epidemiology and Modelling to Inform Vaccine Efficacy Trials. Is generating and synthesizing critical evidence on Rift Valley Fever (RVF) epidemiology to inform the feasibility, design, and location of future human vaccine trials in Africa. Funding: CEPI Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations)

Past Projects

SNAP-AMR: Supporting the National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance in Tanzania: We are investigating antimicrobial resistance (MRC funded) as well as on how to build locally specific, participatory and effective health campaigns from the grassroots up.

Operationalizing One-Health Interventions in Tanzania (OOHTZ): Building off of previous work on zoonosis with the SEEDZ/(ZELS) platform we are developing one-health interventions with communities in Northern Tanzania.

Extreme Events as Transformative Factors in Pastoral Social-Ecological Systems: This project looks at the impact of past drought events on livelihoods, governance, and traditional systems of livestock management and land use in Northern Tanzania. (National Science Foundation, USA)

Sustainable Interventions for an Emerging Livestock Disease: We are exploring how to create community-driven livestock health interventions around taenia multiceps a cestode parasite, locally known in Tanzania as "ormilo" or "kizunguzungu". We have been working with a local Tanzanian artist and have created video and print materials for education on the lifecycle of this parastite. Check it out!
