Food Insecurity, Weight Stigma, and Body Norms/Ideals
Food insecurity and body norms intersect through biological, social, and symbolic processes that link access to food with cultural values surrounding the body. Food insecurity refers to limited or uncertain access to sufficient, safe, and culturally appropriate food, while body norms represent socially constructed ideals of body size, shape, and appearance. Evolutionary and biocultural theories propose that environments marked by resource scarcit…
Cross-cultural Knowledge and Acceptance of Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse Processes across Select Sites
Water is in a constant state of circulation and reuse. Most reuse is unplanned, suggesting significant potential for planned reuse. Yet, attempts to implement planned potable reuse of wastewater have often been countered by public resistance. Based mostly on analyses from high-income countries, scholars have argued that educating people on the technical processes of wastewater reuse will lead to increased public acceptance. Our research explores …
Reproductive preferences during middle childhood and early adolescence in Guatemala
Reproductive preferences and the spread of low fertility norms occupy a key position in debates regarding the causal mechanisms underlying sustained fertility declines. Most of the literature on reproductive preferences focuses on stability and variability of adult fertility preferences, and their relationship with behavioural outcomes. Little work has focused on the developmental origins of these preferences, particularly in populations undergoi…

Expectations of Similarity and Cultural Difference in Conceptual Models of Illness: A Comparison of Medical Staff and Mexican Migrants
Cultural competency has increasingly become a central concept in medical education and practice, focusing on recognizing the variation in patients' health-related beliefs and practices in order to improve cross-cultural communication and health outcomes. While numerous anthropologists critique cultural competency concepts, approaches, and instruments, there is little research regarding the central question of how biomedical providers perceive the…
The Case of Curers, Noncurers, and Biomedical Experts in Pichátaro, Mexico: Resiliency in Folk-Medical Beliefs
We explore potential conceptual and cultural change in folk-medical models within a Mexican community that may have taken place over the past 30 years. Building on a study from the 1970s, we explore the effects a government-supported biomedical clinic had on the content and distribution of folk-medical concepts. Surprisingly, we find that despite a dramatic increase in access to biomedicine and a host of socioeconomic shifts opening access to new…
Divergent Models of Community Health Workers in Highland Guatemala
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are central to Primary Health Care initiatives, serving the essential function of extending access to health services in rural communities. In 1997, the Guatemalan government implemented the Sistema Integral de Atencion en Salud (Integrated Health Care System) (SIAS). Central to SIAS is the guardian de salud (health guardian), a CHW whose role is to refer individuals in their communities to higher levels of care. S…
Knowledge Organization, Categories, and Ad Hoc Groups: Folk Medical Models among Mexican Migrants in Nashville
In this article we bring together theory and methods from two different but related fields, anthropology—specifically medical anthropology—and the cognitive sciences—specifically research on categorization and reasoning. We explore folk medical models of Mexican migrants in the greater Nashville area. The combining thread is our exploration in conceptual organization (categorization) and reasoning. We not only integrate formal methods with ethnog…
