Trained as an anthropologist, Alexandra Brewis (Slade)'s scholarship is currently focused on how health-related stigma shapes human biology, health, and suffering. She has a long career of leading community-based field research at multiple sites across the globe, addressing the biocultural dimensions of complex health issues (including ADHD, infertility, family planning, depression, and nutrition). She is also concerned with how best to translate social science research for public good, by addressing such challenges as water insecurity, improving development project design and monitoring, and properly tailored anti-obesity efforts.
At ASU, Brewis Slade teaches global health and anthropology and co-directs the Global Impact Collaboratory. She is an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellow and president of the Human Biology Association.
Brewis Slade received a doctorate in anthropology from University of Arizona (1992) and was an Andrew W Mellon Foundation postdoctoral fellow in demography at Brown University. Before joining ASU in 2005, she taught at University of Auckland and University of Georgia. As an administrator at ASU, she founded the Center for Global Health in 2006 and served as director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (2010-2017) and associate vice president for social sciences (2014-2017).
Biological, medical, demographic, and nutritional anthropology.
Social dimensions of weight gain and obesity.
Social and biological consequences of water insecurity/extreme weather events
Mixed method community-based research design and implementation.
Program monitoring and evaluation innovation for international development in low-resource settings.
Cross-cultural, comparative, multi-sited research.
Field experience: Pacific islands (Kiribati, Samoa, New Zealand, Fiji), Mexico (Xalapa, Veracruz, and Mexico-US border towns), the US (rural Georgia, urban Arizona), and clinical settings (Mayo Clinic). Current projects in Haiti and Mozambique.
The Small World/Big Bodies project looks at the socio-cultural dimensions of the growing obesity epidemic globally, most especially growing weight-related stigma. This includes a focus on understanding why the stigma around obesity is so profound, how it perpetuates obesity, who is most damaged by it, and ultimately how to fix it.
Better Post-Bariatric Lives is a clinic-based study (using ethnography and survey) done in partnership with Mayo Clinic, to understand the role of stigma in shaping weight regain after bariatric surgery.
The Global Ethnohydrology Study is a multi-year transdisciplinary project using data collected with local communities from around the globe. The goal is to better theorize how people understand and adapt to the everyday challenges of climate changes, such as getting enough safe water, and to explicate the health and psychological impacts of that struggle.
The Global Impact Collaboratory is an effort to innovate social science methods as they are applied to ensure best possible outcomes for development work being done across the globe.
