Research Interests:
Hadley’s research bridges anthropological demography, public health, and nutrition, focusing on food insecurity’s impact on physical and mental health across generations. He explores how unpredictable household environments affect wellbeing, with emphasis on refugees in the U.S., and populations in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Brazil. Key themes include infant feeding practices, intergenerational health transmission, and the biosocial consequences of globalization. His work employs mixed-methods and interdisciplinary approaches, often involving collaborations with institutions like Jimma University and Rollins School of Public Health.
Scientific Contributions:
Hadley’s grants and projects include National Science Foundation-funded investigations into food insecurity among Ethiopian adolescents and U.S. refugees. He co-authored a meta-analysis linking food insecurity to mental health globally and developed culturally grounded scales for measuring food and water insecurity in low-income settings.
Advising & Service:
He has advised over 20 graduate and undergraduate students, many of whom have pursued impactful research in global health and anthropology. His service roles include leadership in the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition (SAFN), peer-review responsibilities for top journals, and workshops on qualitative methods in Ethiopia and Kenya. Recent efforts address sanitation insecurity’s mental health impacts and the role of wealth in shaping health outcomes.
Labs & Collaborations:
Hadley collaborates with global teams on projects like the MaNHEP initiative in Ethiopia and co-leads multi-country studies on food security. He has organized conferences, directed academic minors (e.g., Global Health), and mentored researchers in public health and anthropology.
