Investigating Health Disparities in Immigrant Communities in the U.K

Noel Cameron, PhD

Professor of Human Biology
Loughburg University, Leicestershire, UK

One aftermath of the loss of the British Empire is the immigration of former colonial populations to the UK in search of economic and social betterment. These immigrant groups characteristically settle in the major urban conurbations. Their communities have a health profile that not only reflects the factors that shaped their health in their country of origin, but also new factors in their host country. This talk will primarily address the case of South Asian immigrants in an industrialized city the UK (Bradford) and Africans living in Soweto in South Africa.            

Noël Cameron obtained his Ph.D. in Medicine at London University's Institute of Child Health in 1978 under the supervision of Professor James Tanner. From 1984 to 1997 he was a member of the Department of Anatomy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.  In 1997 he returned to the UK to became Professor of Human Biology at Loughborough University. 

Dr. Cameron has published widely on the health and growth of children in developing countries. He initiated and was Director of the Birth to Ten birth-cohort study in Soweto,-Johannesburg, South Africa, which has investigated the effect of the urban environment on the growth, development, health and wellbeing of over 3000 children.

Tom Leatherman    

From Hacienda to Globalization:
the Political Ecology of Health and Production in the Southern Andes 

This talk traces the shifting landscapes of land, livelihood, economy, and health across three moments in recent Peruvian history: from an initial agrarian reform implemented in the 1970s, through  a protracted civil war in the late 1980s and 1990s, to a second agrarian reform and present-day period of more intense globalization of regional and local economies. These moments had key impacts on access to land, the structure of rural livelihoods, and health.  Intense spaces of vulnerability characterized much of this landscape up to and through the civil war between revolutionary forces of Sendero Luminoso and Tupac Amaru and the Peruvian State.  

More recently, changing access to land and production regimes following a second agrarian reform provide spaces of hope for newly formed indigenous communities.  Dr. Leatherman traces this history in the District of Nuñoa, a site of anthropological study during each of these historic moments. Using a political ecology of health approach, he links shifting economic and social landscapes to food security, nutrition and health, and the ways that health can both reflect and affect the livelihoods and economies of rural households in Nuñoa. 

Dr. Leatherman is the Chair of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and is the Director of the Five-College Program in Culture, Health and Science.
