Adora Nsonwu-Farley

My research sits at the intersection of public health science, equity, and systems-level thinking. I am a mixed-methods researcher whose work has spanned carceral health, global health, infectious disease, and health policy evaluation. I am actively pivoting toward a climate change–centered research agenda — one that examines how extreme environmental conditions shape disease burden, deepen health inequities, and demand intersectional policy responses. Across all my work, I am committed to producing evidence that is community-engaged, equity-driven, and actionable.
