Prof Salome Bukachi
AfOx Fellow 2019
I am a social/medical anthropologist with over 20 years’ experience working on infectious diseases with a focus on community knowledge and practices in relation to livestock and zoonotic diseases, gender issues, nutrition anthropology. My research includes cultural aspects of food ways, food behavior, food safety and food security, health systems, socio-economic and cultural/behavioural aspects of infectious diseases and development.
I apply my anthropological knowledge and skills to help bring a wholistic understanding of people's cultures and the wider context in which they occur and how these impact on various facets of people's lives and daily phenomenon.
I am also a member of the One Health High Level Expert Panel.
