Amazonian Health & Metabolic Justice
This cluster examines metabolic disorders, food systems, ecological transformation, embodied vulnerability, and the pervasive effects of structural inequality.
Projects such as the Munichis Healthy Rice Study exemplify the laboratory’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration that situates anthropology within conversations joining endocrinology, nutritional science, public health, Indigenous knowledge systems, and ecological analysis.
The cluster advances KU’s dedication to global health equity through research that is scientifically grounded and ethically informed.
