Official Bio

Dr. Sarah Duignan is a medical anthropologist with a PhD from McMaster University, a mum, and the host of AnthroDish, a weekly podcast about food, culture, and identity. She also maintains a series of food essays through her Substack Newsletter, AnthroDish Essays.

She lives in Guelph, ON, Canada. Her PhD research focused on the ways that environmental contaminants and climate change impact human health physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. She previously worked as a lab manager and bioarchaeologist at the University of New Brunswick's Bioarchaeology Field School at the National Historic Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, an ongoing project in collaboration with Parks Canada to protect and preserve historical burial grounds from ongoing coastal erosion. 

Originally from Peterborough, ON, Sarah has always felt a strong connection to the environment and natural world. Her research is rooted in this connection, and she focuses on looking at issues through a biocultural lens. This means she likes to think about all the ways in which society, culture, environment, biology, economy, politics, etc. can inform the way people behave and perceive the world. Sarah strongly advocates for critical media literacy through this biocultural approach. 

Through AnthroDish, Sarah explores the many ways that humans connect with each other and their environments through food. She believes anthropology can be an amazing tool to understand human behaviour, but we often fall short of sharing this with the public.
