Dr. Anaís Delilah Roque Antonetty (she/her/ella) is an environmental social scientist who studies resource insecurity and health in the Anthropocene. Currently, her research agenda focuses on how households and communities experience, prepare for, and respond to food, energy, and water insecurity during “normal” times and in the wake of a hazard (e.g., geophysical, climatological) or disaster. Dr. Roque is also interested in the health outcomes of such experiences and the extent to which strategies to address insecurity across scales (e.g., household, community, policy) shape pathways to better or worse health and well-being. Trained as a mixed-methods scholar, Dr. Roque uses a range of methodologies in her research, including ethnographic research methods, participatory research methods (e.g., photovoice, participatory mapping, CBPR, action research), social networks, and surveys, among others.

 

Inspired by scholarship that embraces diverse epistemological approaches, Dr. Roque is part of several interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams that advance research at the intersections of environmental behaviors, community resilience, and social vulnerability. She conducts research in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Gulf Coast, and the U.S./Mexico Borderlands. She is the director of the  initiative and the .
