Dr. Rodney J Reynolds started his career within the Department of Anthropology of UCL (University College London) where he lectured and led graduate and undergraduate seminars in applied studies and medical anthropology. While in that role, Rodney co-developed a web-based tool for asynchronous collaborative learning called The Network for Student Activism. The UCL Provost recognized this initiative with an award for innovation.
He currently focuses on global health teaching and research. In this context, he has developed various courses aiming at combining an anthropological understanding and analysis of global health themes such as: mortality vs morbidity and health promotion within the context of global health and food, culture and globalization. His research priorities encompass technology and learning and cultural dimensions of health vulnerability. He is a former Newton Fellow and current Research Fellow at UCL with the Mobilising Community Assets for Health Program. He also works with the South London Lambeth Council on Wider Health Determinants and embedding research and use of evidence in local health programming.
