Bio/Research
My area of interest is child health and nutrition and environmental health as it pertains to urban ecosystems. My research perspectives are grounded in biocultural and political-economic approaches. My main geographic areas of focus are South Asia and Canada.
One of my current research interests is childhood obesity. In 2001-2004 I conducted a SSHRC-funded research study called the nutrition project in the City of Hamilton. The project investigated the effects of socially and economically contrasting neighbourhoods on children’s body size, diet and physical activity. My current research examines dietary change among immigrants including a focus on Vitamin D deficiency, and its health effects on new Canadian mothers, infants and children.
