Our group bridges biological and social anthropology, community medicine, evolutionary medicine, social epidemiology and public health.

Medical research often starts at the clinic door - we start further back, with everyday experiences of health and illness and constructs of health.

Objective measurements and subjective experience of ​weather; wind chill, ​bushfires, intergenerational weather encounters and research methods.

By bridging our Chemistry and Bioscience Departments, we bring together multidisciplinary expertise to tackle challenges in infectious disease.

The benefits of undertaking physical activities are well known, and sport, physical activity and nutrition play a vital role in healthy communities.

We are focused on regional, national and global trends such as climate change, health trends, community-based health programmes and health behaviours.

Our mission is to transform health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities through the conduct of world-class public health research.

Our vision is to deliver 'better, fairer health and care at all ages and in all places' organised around seven key research themes.

Our research encompasses a range of academic disciplines, including the physical and social sciences and the arts and humanities.

As well as producing new thinking about human experience, we influence scholars, practitioners and stakeholders through creative and ambitious training.

Our mission is to encourage and support high calibre interdisciplinary research to understand and address human health challenges.

We are interested in what is 'new' about contemporary urbanism, including the techniques through which cities are governed, the how lives are lived.

The boundaries of life and non-life, and human and non-human life, are at stake across a range of contemporary scientific, social and economic.

Our research is inspired by the political urgencies of the present, while seeking broader historical contexts and conceptual links.

We make a difference by addressing inequalities, promoting social justice, and ensuring better health and wellbeing through sport and exercise.
