Gwen Robbins Schug is Professor and Director of the UNCG RISE Network in Biology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Her research examines how historical societies responded to crises like climate change and urbanization, with emphasis on social inequality and resilience in Holocene populations. She has conducted extensive bioarchaeological fieldwork in India, Oman, and Italy.
Recent publications investigate ancient disease (including Bronze Age leprosy in Oman), ethical frameworks for human remains research, and theoretical approaches to paleopathology. Her work applies structural violence theory to interpret health disparities and develops ONE Paleopathology frameworks integrating deep-time perspectives on health-climate interactions. She edited the Routledge Handbook of Bioarchaeology and Climate Change (2020).
