Welcome to Healthy Communities, Place and Health
Explore our range of research.
Anthropology of Health Group
Our group bridges biological and social anthropology, community medicine, evolutionary medicine, social epidemiology and public health.
Institute for Medical Humanities (Everyday Environments)
Medical research often starts at the clinic door - we start further back, with everyday experiences of health and illness and constructs of health.
Weathered Lives
Objective measurements and subjective experience of weather; wind chill, bushfires, intergenerational weather encounters and research methods.
Centre for Global Infectious Disease
By bridging our Chemistry and Bioscience Departments, we bring together multidisciplinary expertise to tackle challenges in infectious disease.
Healthy Communities
The benefits of undertaking physical activities are well known, and sport, physical activity and nutrition play a vital role in healthy communities.
Durham Health and Social Theory Group
We are focused on regional, national and global trends such as climate change, health trends, community-based health programmes and health behaviours.

Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing
Our mission is to encourage and support high calibre interdisciplinary research to understand and address human health challenges.
Urban Worlds
We are interested in what is 'new' about contemporary urbanism, including the techniques through which cities are governed, the how lives are lived.
Geographies of Life
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.
Politics-State-Space (PSS)
Our research is inspired by the political urgencies of the present, while seeking broader historical contexts and conceptual links.
Physical Activity and Health Inequalities
We make a difference by addressing inequalities, promoting social justice, and ensuring better health and wellbeing through sport and exercise.
