I am an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Lead Faculty for Global Health Equity and Social Medicine at the University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), Rwanda.

My research spans Madagascar, Rwanda, and the Pacific, examining inequality, health, and social and environmental change. Trained at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), I have published on slavery and social exclusion in Madagascar; family and violence in the Pacific Islands; and, more recently, medical education and public health in Africa. I collaborate with sociologists, archaeologists, cognitive scientists, evolutionary anthropologists, epidemiologists, physicians, and global health researchers.

My current work draws on ethnography, historical analysis, and health sciences to understand how social life and environmental conditions shape health outcomes, care, and inequities in Madagascar and Rwanda.
