Madeleine Mant

Dr. Mant's research focuses on the biocultural examination of health inequities in marginalized and institutionalized human groups through time, through the integration of bioanthropological, archival, and survey/interview datasets. She has a particular interest in trauma and infectious disease. Current work includes investigating children's morbidity in 18th-century British hospitals, highlighting health experiences in 19th-century prison and poorhouse records, and a longitudinal study of young adult experiences and vaccine confidence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
