We study human biocultural variation to address global health challenges





Our research uses theory and insights from both evolutionary and ecological thinking to understand why people behave the way they do, in social and cultural contexts.


Our team located in the Oxford School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography strives to shed new light on global health challenges. We are currently looking at projects involving nutrition, reproduction, infectious disease epidemiology and farming.


We welcome inquiries from prospective students and post-docs
