Research Interests
As a medical anthropologist, I research issues related to food access, food insecurity, and food justice. My research uses critical spatial analysis and urban political ecology to examine the ways in which vulnerable populations have inequitable access to food and nutrition, especially within post-industrial environments. The primary goal of my research is to describe the ways in which systemic inequalities have become a part of our built environment, and how that can affect access to food resources. My PhD fieldwork concerns the role that food charity played in Western New York during the COVID-19 pandemic and the issue of resilience for charitable food organizations and food insecure households in the context of both a pandemic and a global food syndemic. In addition to my academic research, I work as a medical anthropologist for the Department of Veterans Affairs on projects related to health care access and reintegration for marginalized Veteran populations and for Veterans with traumatic brain injury and PTSD.
