My research interests include social determinants of dietary behavior and food policy for the promotion of health equity. I am especially interested in the prevention of diet-related diseases in Latin America and the United States through a focus on food systems and structural determinants. My current research is focused on front-of-package labeling policies and food assistance programs. I am also interested in place-based approaches to food interventions, weight stigma, and the relationship between globalization and structural determinants of disease-promoting diets.
