Dr. Susan Andreatta

Anthropology

Dr. Susan Andreatta is an applied sociocultural anthropologist who is interested in environmental and medical anthropology. She has worked in the Caribbean, Latin America, Southeastern States, Uganda and China. Her fieldwork experiences enable her to work with farmers, fishermen, immigrant agricultural laborers, and health care providers. Since arriving at UNCG in 1996 she has been involved in community engaged research. In 2001 she established Project Green Leaf, a University supported program involved in a number of outreach research projects working with farmers, farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture arrangements, migrant workers and urban connections to locally grown produce. This work has expanded to working with NC marine fisheries researchers and small-scale fishermen in Carteret County where they developed the first Community Supported Fisheries arrangement, a project that has caught on nationally and internationally. In addition, she co-directs UNCG’s campus gardens which has 50 raised plant beds for faculty, staff and student use.
