The Department of Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington invites applications for a full-time assistant professor of anthropological archaeology with a focus on climate change and community resilience. Rapid, anthropogenic changes to the earth’s climate is one of the most fundamental challenges to humanity at the moment. While we are struggling to find political and technological fixes to limit the severity of climate change in the near future, we are already living on a changed planet. Humans have survived periods of rapid climate change before and current vulnerabilities as well as capacities for resilience are the cumulative result of the deep histories of human engagement with environments, locally, regionally and globally. Archaeological data can illuminate how people have responded to past climate changes, provide insight into modes of cultural and socioecological resilience of communities past and present, and supply a wide range of scenarios to consider as we plan for the future.

CSDE Affiliates Jessica Jones-Smith and Anjum Hajat, along with CSDE Research Scientists Phil Hurvitz and Deven Hamilton, received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIMHD) to study the role of racism in urban planning policies and practices in creating inequitable neighborhood food environments and disparities in body mass index levels. The project is a collaboration with investigators at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (Yeeli Mui,Keshia Pollack Porter and Julia Wolfson).
The project will use a mixed methods design to investigate the role of structural racism vis-à-vis historical racialized policies and urban planning decisions on current day inequitable neighborhood and food environments and BMI disparities. We will examine the historical and contemporary sociopolitical context of these three racialized policies through interviews, document and media reviews, and test the feasibility of linking newly compiled spatial and contextual urban planning and policy data with the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort, which contains in-depth, longitudinal health data for people who were initially recruited from six cities.

Join us for this week’s seminar with Associate Professor Zach Ward from the Department of Economics at Baylor University. Ward will be speaking about the extent to which intergenerational mobility estimates fail to capture the long-run influences of grandparents. Nearly all estimates of multigenerational mobility find that socioeconomic status is transmitted more strongly between grandparent and grandchild than predicted from a standard intergenerational model.
CSDE External Affiliate Anna Zamora-Kapoor and co-authors have published a paper in The Journal of Nutrition entitled “Risk of Food Insecurity in Young Adulthood and Longitudinal Changes in Cardiometabolic Health: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health“. The authors assess the longitudinal relation between risk of food insecurity in young adulthood and change in diet-sensitive cardiometabolic health outcomes across 10 years among various ethnic groups utilizing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health study (ADD Health). These data are available to CSDE affiliates through CSDE’s UWDC, so don’t hesitate to let us know if you would like to employ these data for your own research.
