My new project examines how climate change, recurrent drought, and food insecurity are affecting health and well-being in rural southern Madagascar. It investigates the cumulative effects of prolonged environmental and economic stress on physical and mental health, nutrition, and everyday experiences of illness. Drawing on biosocial and biocultural approaches, the project explores how chronic stress becomes embodied and how its health effects are shaped by social inequality, household resources, gender, age, and access to care. It also examines how families and communities respond through farming strategies, migration, social support, and other forms of adaptation, and how humanitarian interventions and public policies influence their capacity to cope with climate-related health threats.
