As a biocultural anthropologist, GUEST SPEAKER DR. CASSANDRA WORKMAN is interested in looking at the ways in which humans are impacted biologically, psycho-emotionally and socially, by food insecurity and water and sanitation (WaSH) insecurity. In order to understand these complex interactions, she engages medical anthropology, environmental anthropology and other scientific disciplines such as public health and hydrology. She uses both qualitative and quantitative methods in her research and has conducted research in Lesotho and Tanzania, Africa, as well as in eastern North Carolina. In collaboration with faculty from NC State and Sokoine University of Agriculture, she currently has a NSF funded project examining complex resource insecurity in Morogoro, Tanzania. In addition to conducting scholarly research, she has worked in international development for donor organizations and implementing partners in Mozambique, Tanzania, and South Sudan.
