Dr. Edgar Franco Vivanco's global work focuses on understanding how extractive industries (e.g. mining, oil) affect rural communities' environment and health in the long-run. His research interests in health equity align with the Center’s theme of addressing social and environmental determinants of health. Through a development-informed lens, Edgar also explores how rural communities have mobilized across history as a response to extractive industries' impact, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean.
