I am a social scientist working at the intersection of public health, global health, social medicine, and anthropology. My research examines how social, economic, environmental, and historical conditions shape health inequalities, health behaviours, and access to care.

Based at the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda, where I lead teaching in Global Health Equity and Social Medicine, I conduct research in Rwanda, Madagascar, and the Pacific Islands. My current work focuses particularly on health inequalities, physical activity and nutrition transitions, climate and health, health systems, and the social dimensions of disease and care.

My work combines qualitative and ethnographic research with interdisciplinary collaborations in public health, epidemiology, medicine, human evolutionary biology, and health professions education. Across these areas, I am interested in how anthropology and the other social sciences can contribute to understanding and reducing health inequities.
