Nate Tilton is a Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, located in the Behavioral & Social Sciences school. He concurrently serves as Associate Director of the UC Berkeley Disability Lab and is a Ph.D. student in cultural anthropology at UC Berkeley. His work bridges academic research with practical advocacy, focusing on disability rights and systemic inequities in healthcare access for veterans.
Research interests include ethnography, critical histories of race/science, and medical anthropology. His current project, 'Disposable Joes,' examines institutional failures in the Department of Veterans Affairs through the lens of 'slow debility,' analyzing how colonialism and militarism exacerbate health disparities among Guam's veterans. This project employs visual and participatory methods with disabled veterans to drive systemic change.
Teaching specialties encompass cultural anthropology, ethnographic methods, and critical race studies. His interdisciplinary approach integrates activism and scholarship to address global health, disability justice, and environmental geopolitics.
