LAUREN CLARK

Professor Lauren Clark completed a post-doctoral certificate in Medical Anthropology from the University of Arizona and a fellowship in cultural anthropology methods sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Her research focus on health disparities among diverse and marginalized populations has directed her exploration into child feeding and parenting among Mexican immigrant and Mexican American families, as well as participatory research among disability communities in the areas of nutrition and physical activity. As a qualitative researcher she elicits and analyzes how people come to understand their health and illness situations and act on that understanding.
