Read the rest of the profile

Lenore has a distinguished career as an anthropologist, social historian, and public health researcher and educator. She has played a lead role in training and research in inequality, social exclusin and marginality, the social determinants of infectious and chronic disease, gender and sexuality, immigration, ethnicity and inequality.

Her own research focuses on questins of inequality, marginalization and suffering in Australia - with immigrants and refugees, indigenous and other Australian-born populations - and in Southeast and East Asia (including Malaysia, China, Thailand, the Philippines and Japan), South Africa and Ghana, and most recently in the Solomon Islands.

She is the author, editor or co-author of over 520 books, articles, book chapters and reports, including Sickness and the State (1996), Global Health Policy, Local Realities (2000) and Chronic Conditions, Fluid States: Chronicity and the Anthropology of Illness (2010), Surface Tensions: Surgery, Bodily Boundaries and the Social Self (2011), Technologies of Sexuality, Identity and Sexual Health (2012), and Flows of Faith: Religious Reach and Community in Asia and the Pacific (2012)

The term 10:90 gap refers to the political economy of knowledge. Over 90% of research is conducted in the global north (North America, Western Europe, Australia) on issues that impact on their populations; 90% of the world's population live in the global south and experience very different life circumstances. Much of Lenore's work has focused on these questions. For over 25 years, she has worked to strengthen institution capability and develop research capacity in the social science and health in the global south, particularly in resource-poor environments. In particular, she has worked with WHO/TDR (Special Programme in Research and Taining in TGropical Diseases) since 1988 as a participant of scientific advisory meetings, and as a member of the Research Strengthening Group, steering committees for social and economic research and applied epidemiology, and the taskforce on gender and tropical disease.

From 2008-2011 she was a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee for Stewardship on Research on Infectious Disease of Poverty (SAC-STE), and she is presently a member of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Group.

She is an active member of CARTA (Consortium of Advanced Research and Training in Africa (CARTA), a south-led initiative which provides doctoral research training in public and population health for academic staff in the 13 African universities and research institutes which belong to CARTA.

Lenore has trained to graduation some 110 higher degree students and mentored dozens of other trainees, research interns and colleagues in Australia and overseas; in recognition of this she was awarded the American Anthropological Assoication Medical Anthropology Students' Association Mentor Award in 2007.
