As an applied sociocultural anthropologist, I am interested in environmental and medical anthropology. For the past two decades I have worked in a number of regions and countries including the Caribbean, Latin America, Southeastern States, Uganda and China. My fieldwork experiences have allowed me to work with farmers, fishermen, immigrant agricultural laborers, and health care providers. Over the years students have participated in many of these applied research projects and have written papers for publication, and presented their papers and posters at conferences.
Since arriving at UNCG in 1996 I have been involved in community engaged research. In 2001 we established the development of a University supported outreach program known as Project Green Leaf. We have been involved in a number of outreach research projects working with farmers, farmers markets, organic farming, Community Supported Agriculture arrangements, migrant workers and urban connections to locally grown produce. This work has expanded to working with North Carolina marine fisheries researchers and small-scale fishermen in Carteret County, North Carolina where we developed the first Community Supported Fisheries Project, a social marketing idea that has caught on internationally.
