I am an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Plymouth State University, where I teach courses in the Sustainability Studies major and the Anthropology minor. I also coordinate our popular interdisciplinary minor in Global Health.
I have conducted research in Madagascar since 2002 on such topics as entomophagy, medicinal plant knowledge, equity issues related to bioprospecting, social and environmental impacts of small-scale sapphire mining, rural-urban migration, and most recently, social causes and consequences of the nutrition transition. Since 2015 I have been venturing into my own backyard in New Hampshire to explore immigration and refugee issues.
You can also find me at Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and LinkedIn.
