About

Anthrolactology features musings on human lactation and infant feeding at the intersections of science and society.

Meet the Anthropologists Behind Anthrolactology!

Dr. Aunchalee Palmquist – I’m a medical anthropologist and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I study  global maternal and child perinatal health and health disparities; human milk sharing and milk banking; and infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E). I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health and the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute at the Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Opinions are my own.

Here’s a link to my personal website. I’m also on Twitter

Dr. EA Quinn – I’m an Associate Professor of Anthropology (biological) at Washington University in St. Louis actively studying human milk, breastfeeding, and maternal physiology in a comparative perspective. I work with Tibetan mothers and infants understanding high altitude exposure during lactation and infancy. Opinions are my own.
